PETALING JAYA: Nurul Izzah Anwar's appointment as the Prime Minister's senior economic and finance adviser is not a liability as she has demonstrated sound political and policy independence, says economist Dr Jomo Kwame Sundram.

The economist said although the manner of Nurul Izzah's appointment may not look good in the eyes of the public as she is Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's daughter, it does not compromise her capability of fulfilling the position's role and responsibilities.
