PETALING JAYA: Former deputy health minister Dr Lee Boon Chye has proposed three ways to balance lives and livelihood as the Covid-19 situation worsens.
He said it did not make sense to force non-essential businesses to close despite being in the low-risk category.
He said risk-based assessment would be more effective to kick-start the stuttering economy while ensuring the numbers are low.
“It should be risk-based and not according to the industries.
“It doesn’t make sense to punish those who are following SOPs and allow those violating them to continue operating,” he told FMT.
