Nurul Izzah's appointment will affect corruption perception index, says Transparency International

KUALA LUMPUR: The appointment of Nurul Izzah Anwar as economics and finance senior adviser to the Prime Minister will have a bearing on Malaysia's standing in the Corruption Perception Index (CPI), says Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M).

"Our view is that it gives the wrong signal and if not rectified, it will be a factor that will show up on the CPI," said TI-M president Dr Muhammad Mohan (pic) when announcing the CPI Report 2022 on Tuesday (Jan 31).
