M’sians Accuse DSAI & Nurul Izzah Of Nepotism On Her Appointment As Economic & Financial Advisor

Nepotism is trending on Malaysian Twitter and here’s why.

It was recently announced that Nurul Izzah Anwar, the daughter of current Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim (DSAI), was appointed as an economic and financial advisor.
