Aide: Nurul Izzah's appointment not nepotism as it doesn't come with power

Nurul Izzah Anwar's political secretary has argued that her appointment as her father Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's senior adviser on economics and finance would not lead to any issues of governance.

Amir H Ghazali said this is because Nurul Izzah's appointment does not come with any authority nor did it come with a "non-functional" minister status as previous adviser appointments.
