Think tank pours cold water on Nurul Izzah's appointment

PETALING JAYA: When the Prime Minister appoints one of his daughters, especially one who recently lost an electoral battle, as senior advisor for economics and finance, it does not only sound like nepotism, but also a cause of concern for the future of the economy, says a think tank.

Centre for Market Education (CME) chief executive officer Dr Carmelo Ferlito said the appointment of Nurul Izzah Anwar (pic) as senior economics and finance advisor to the Prime Minister contradicted the reformist policies and change preached by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his Unity Government.
