‘PM’s decision should be respected’

KUALA LUMPUR: While a corruption watchdog voiced its concern over Nurul Izzah Anwar’s appointment as senior economics and finance adviser to the Prime Minister, her political aide insists there is no element of nepotism or cronyism in the appointment.

Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M) said the decision by the Prime Minister to appoint his daughter to a post in his office could leave negative implications to the country’s Corruption Perception Index (CPI).
