Anwar Ibrahim has used other people's money to fund Nurul Izzah's work in the past - Nurul Izzah's appointment as her father's adviser a replay of Anwar using IIIT money to fund his children, and Rahim Ghouse's children's university education

 by Ganesh Sahathevan 

Nurul Izzah appears  enroute to bigger and better things at Petronas, after being appointed her father , Prime Minister Of Malaysia Anwar Ibrahim's adviser in his capacity as Prime Minister and Minister For Finance.

The appointment has been criticised, and it does bring to mind another incident where Anwar Ibrahim used a public position to benefit Nurul Izzah and his other children. 

These are extracts from the International Institute Of Islamic Thought's US IRS 990 Return Of Organization Exempt From Income Tax for the year 2003:

In the September 13 , 1999 edition of Asiaweek it was noted:

 

Nurul Izzah told Asiaweek that her father had paid her university fees until his dismissal, after which she applied for and won a scholarship. - Editors

 

However  in October 2003, in response to the public  revelation  of the  document above  Anwar Ibrahim said:

 

 

In connection with IIIT's award of a scholarship to my daughter Nurul Izzah, I would like to state that Muslims in America made a special donation to sponsor the education of all six of my children during the five years that I have been in jail.

The relationship was not disclosed, as required, the  IRS 990 document above.

Raiyan Adbul Rahim and Ibrahim Abdul Rahim are the children of Rahim Ghouse, Anwar's long time advisor and confidante, who was appointed special advisor to Anwar's wife Wan Azizah when she served as Deputy Prime Minister Malaysia between May 2018 and January 2020.
