So what's the problem with Nurrul Izzah appointment as the Economic and Financial adviser to her father, PMX10 ?
At the very least, to quote a friend, "she is very honest and will not condone the nonsense in the Ministry of Finance!" Enough said!
I m personal when it comes to Izzah. I like her. I took her to see michael jackson when he was here in kl. she was 15 or 16. You go girl! 💪👍
Cakap tak serupa bikin.
Almost every PKR members whack badawi and Tun kaw2 for practicing nepotism…….
Today the silence on this appointment by PKR members is DEAFENING.
To compare TEMASEK’s appointment of PM’s wife is really an insult to even the lowest intelligence.
Pls look at the work experience and academic qualifications of Ho Ching.
What work experience and academic qualifications does Nurul have to be appointed SENIOR ASVISOR for economics & finance???
I do not question nurul’s intelligence……. But to make her senior advisor in this very2 important area when the country’s financial position is soooo fragile is IRRESPONSIBLE……
Nurul is a politician. She couldn’t even defend the family’s stronghold of permatang pauh………. I can understand why Zafrul was…
Why the news now..... she mentioned this in her exclusive interview that her appointment was effective Jan 3. Looks like it's damage control now.
Not only PMX should not practise croynism, nepotism and corruption, if to be different from his predecessors, he must also be seen not to do so...
Totally agree.
PMX, good choice.
Nurul, give and show us your best.
