New govt better option than National Operations Council, says Zaid

PETALING JAYA: If Malaysia needs a new set of leaders to manage the country, it would be better for a new government to be formed instead of setting up a National Operations Council or Majlis Gerakan Negara (MAGERAN), Zaid Ibrahim said today.

In a Facebook post, the former law minister questioned why this proposal was even on the table when no other country in the world was resorting to such a measure.

He said a smaller committee like MAGERAN did not ensure effectiveness and there was no guarantee it would be rid of political elements.

If the Yang di-Pertuan Agong comes to the conclusion that Malaysia needed new leaders to manage the pandemic and economy, he said, it would be better to get opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim to form a new government or appoint an interim prime minister.
