SHAH ALAM - PKR's Pasir Gudang MP Hassan Abdul Karim has voiced out objection to the appointment of former Permatang Pauh MP Nurul Izzah Anwar as Senior Economic and Financial Advisor to the Prime Minister.

"As a friend and supporter of Pakatan Harapan (PH), what is my views of the appointment of Nurul Izzah?

"My answer is quite simple, it is legally right but morally wrong," he said on his Facebook post.

Anwar on Sunday said Nurul Izzah's appointment was based on her qualifications.

The Tambun MP said her daughter had a first degree in engineering and a second degree in public and social policy from John Hopkins University, United States and was appointed to assist him in the Prime Minister's department and the Finance Ministry.

Nurul Izzah confirmed her appointment effective Jan 3.
