MP SPEAKS | Is the minster of law defending the indefensible?

[superadmin]

MP SPEAKS | I have read in toto the official statement issued by the minister of law on April 20, 2021, and in turn reported in almost all major media. In essence, the statement sought to justify the existence and the continuity of the current emergency.

Anyone who reads the statement will definitely notice a glaring missing fact therein. Not even a single sentence on Parliament was mentioned by Takiyuddin Hassan (above) in his press release.

Truth be told, I am not too sure whether he has successfully managed to convince the people via such a statement. Whether such a statement may possibly inspire investor confidence, with due respect, remains doubtful.

Like it or not, the proclamation of emergency, in my view, has unduly caused more harm than generated any positive results, at least to the economy. The fact that Covid-19 infections are on the rise, despite the existence of an emergency, has led to an avalanche of fierce criticism hurled at the present government.
