Nurul Izzah binti Anwar (Jawi: نور العزة بنت أنور; born 19 November 1980) is a Malaysian public servant with an extensive history of dedicated service as a legislator, activist, advocate and champion of social change.[1] She also served as Co-chairperson of the Secretariat of the Special Advisory Body to the Minister of Finance (ACFIN) serving Tan Sri Hassan Marican since February 2023.[2] She served as Senior Advisor to the Prime Minister on Economics and Finance briefly before Encik Nurhisham bin Hussein, former EPF Chief Economist, assumed the position in the PMO. She was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Permatang Pauh from May 2018 to November 2022 and for Lembah Pantai from March 2008 to May 2018. She is a member of the People's Justice Party (PKR), a component party of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) and formerly Pakatan Rakyat (PR) opposition coalitions. She has also served as the Vice President of PKR from November 2010 to her resignation in December 2018 and again since July 2022.[3] She served on the Public Accounts Committee[4] from 2018 to 2022 and was the KEADILAN Spokesperson for the Ministry of Women, Family, and Community Development. She was also an active member of the All-Party Parliamentary Group Malaysia for the Reform of All Places of Detention (APPGM). She also served as Chairperson of the Consideration of Bills Select Committee from December 2018 to July 2019.[5] In July 2021, Nurul Izzah, in a collaboration with Prof. Fatimah Kari, published a new report on Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI).[6] This study calculated the varying dimensions of poverty experienced by 332 B40 households in Permatang Pauh.[6] This index would go beyond economic factors and consider social, political, and environmental aspects to provide a comprehensive assessment.[7] By including dimensions like women's empowerment and environmental sustainability, the index aims to promote a well-rounded approach to rebuilding after conflict, prioritizing the well-being of all individuals, especially women.[8] Six months later, Mustapa Mohamed, former minister in the Prime Minister’s Department for Economic Affairs, revealed the government’s plan to revamp the national MPI methodology in response to the study.[7] Mustapha Mohamed officially launched the report on October 2021.[9]
