An opposition leader has taken a jibe at Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and his daughter over her appointment as senior economics and finance adviser to the premier by sarcastically calling on the rakyat to give Nurul Izzah a chance "to solve all their problems".

Bersatu deputy president Ahmad Faizal Azumu quipped that the former Permatang Pauh MP must have "extremely great capabilities” for Anwar to have appointed her to the role.
