He said this was not an easy task, but believed that with Nurul Izzah’s experience, she would be able to solve various problems facing the people.

“Apart from the appointment (as senior economic and financial adviser) by the prime minister, Nurul Izzah also has two degrees and has been a member of the Public Accounts Committee.

“With these qualifications and experience, I think we can trust her to solve problems on the economy, finance and cost of living facing the people now,” he said.

Faizal spoke to reporters at the Tambun parliamentary constituency’s Perikatan Nasional (PN) thanksgiving feast here today.

On Jan 29, Nurul Izzah revealed that she had been officially appointed senior economic and financial adviser to the prime minister on Jan 3 this year.

Her main objective would be to improve the economic condition of the people, as well as tackle issues of poverty, education, and technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in the country.
