Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s decision to appoint his daughter Nurul Izzah as his economics and finance adviser puts him in a “dangerous position”, according to the Center to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4).

Its deputy chief executive officer K Sudhagaran Stanley called out the move as nepotism and a conflict of interest.

“The position being pro bono is irrelevant. It is about nepotism, and more importantly, conflict of interest issues.

“This could place the PM in a difficult and dangerous position,” he told Malaysiakini.
