PETALING JAYA: Khairy Jamaluddin owes Malaysians a full and frank ministerial statement on Covid-19 before the Dewan Rakyat adjourns this week, says DAP strongman Lim Kit Siang.
He said the health minister should not miss the opportunity to do this, especially on the high number of Covid-19 deaths, before the Dewan Rakyat adjourns until the 2022 budget meeting at the end of the month.
“Although the daily reported death numbers have come down to a quarter from 295 on Aug 30 when he took office to 74 yesterday, the bought-in-dead cases are still unacceptably high.
“The health minister still owes Malaysians a full and frank statement on the high Covid-19 death numbers, including the clearing of the backlog,” he said in a statement today.
