Nurul Izzah tak layak beri nasihat ekonomi, kewangan, kata badan pemikir
Sebuah badan pemikir senada dengan kritikan terhadap pelantikan Nurul Izzah Anwar sebagai penasihat kanan ekonomi dan kewangan Perdana Menteri Anwar Ibrahim, serta mempersoalkan kelayakannya bagi jawatan itu.
Dalam kenyataan, Pusat Pendidikan Pasaran (CME) menegaskan Nurul Izzah, naib presiden PKR, mungkin berkelayakan dalam bidang kejuruteraan dan hubungan antarabangsa, tetapi ia tidak penting.
“Beliau tidak mempunyai sebarang latar belakang khusus dalam bidang ekonomi atau kewangan. Walaupun ini tidak diperlukan untuk peranan politik utama seperti menteri atau timbalan menteri, ia harus diwajibkan bagi penasihat dan pegawai kanan,” kata Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif CME Carmelo Ferlito.
Semalam, Nurul Izzah menjelaskan beliau tidak akan diberi gaji sebagai penasihat kanan ekonomi dan kewangan, tetapi Ferlito berkata itu bukan isunya.
“’Harga’ sebenar politik yang dibayar oleh rakyat bukanlah gaji, tetapi akibat daripada dasar yang tidak baik.
“Walaupun berpandukan niat yang baik, dasar yang tidak baik boleh merosakkan sesebuah negara. Kita telah melihatnya dengan harga siling atau larangan terhadap pekerja asing,” katanya.
Ferlito memberi amaran Malaysia tidak mempunyai banyak masa lagi untuk menyelesaikan isu struktur dalam ekonomi memandangkan cabaran bakal dihadapi negara.
Semalam, Anwar mempertahankan pelantikan Nurul Izzah sebagai penasihat kanan ekonomi dan kewangan, sambil berkata ia dilakukan berdasarkan kelayakan dimilikinya.
Anwar berkata, Nurul Izzah mempunyai ijazah pertama dalam bidang kejuruteraan dan ijazah kedua dalam dasar awam dan sosial dari Universiti John Hopkins, Amerika Syarikat (AS).
Penganalisis mengkritik langkah itu, dengan berkata pelantikan bekas Ahli Parlimen Permatang Pauh itu “berbau” nepotisme dan akan menarik perhatian yang tidak sepatutnya kepada kerajaan perpaduan apabila ia masih berusaha mengukuhkan kedudukannya.
Azmi Hassan dari Akademi Nusantara pula berpendapat apa yang Anwar lakukan itu bertentangan dengan desakannya sebelum ini mengenai urus tadbir baik, yang menghalang amalan nepotisme.

Nurul Izzah not qualified to advise on economics, finance, says think tank
A think tank has joined the chorus of criticism against Nurul Izzah Anwar’s appointment as Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s senior economics and finance adviser, questioning her credentials to hold such a position.
In a statement, the Center for Market Education (CME) pointed out that Nurul Izzah, a PKR vice-president, may be qualified in the field of engineering and international relations, but it did not matter.
“She does not possess any specific background in economics or finance. While this is not necessary for primary political roles such as ministers or deputy ministers, it should be mandatory for advisers and counsellors,” CME CEO Carmelo Ferlito said.
Yesterday, Nurul Izzah explained that she would not be paid in her role as senior economics and finance adviser to the prime minister, but Ferlito said that was not the issue.
“The actual cost of politics paid by the rakyat is not the cost of salaries, but the consequences of bad policies.
“Bad policies, even if guided by good intentions, can ruin a nation. We have seen this with price ceilings or the ban on foreign workers,” he said.
Ferlito warned that Malaysia did not have much time left to resolve structural issues in the economy in view of the challenges that lie ahead for the country.
Yesterday, Anwar defended Nurul Izzah’s appointment as his senior economics and finance adviser, saying it was made based on her qualifications.
Anwar said Nurul Izzah had a degree in engineering and another degree in public and social policy from Johns Hopkins University in the US.
Analysts have since condemned the move, saying the former Permatang Pauh MP’s appointment reeked of nepotism and would attract unwarranted attention to the unity government when it was still trying to find its footing.
Azmi Hassan of Akademi Nusantara said Anwar was doing a disservice to his own call for good governance, which prohibits the practice of nepotism, among other things.
