There is an outbreak of national moaning over the silence of Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin amid Malaysia’s horrifying Covid-19 crisis.
As the war against the disease piles more hardship on Malaysians, his performance has been poor. Very poor.
Provocatively poor, if you were to take several other national issues on which he has remained silent.
Day after day, he has been battered by dreadful comments for his government’s questionable implementation and poor contingency planning to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
Even as his critics hammered away, Muhyiddin offered no plans. Even the hollow words have stopped.
Yesterday, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng branded him the “worst Malaysian prime minister in history” for practising a double standard by instructing premises listed under the Hotspot Identification for Dynamic Engagement (HIDE) system to close for three days.
On Friday, Indonesia told its citizens to stay home and take precautions against the Covid-19 infection, and not to end up like Malaysia. Public anger against Muhyiddin worsened.
What would Muhyiddin have to do for his critics to take him seriously?
Perhaps, he should personally take charge of the madness. He can begin with stopping his ministers from contradicting one another and confusing the people.
