Guan Eng to PM: stop being in denial and take charge

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: The prime minister, Muhyiddin Yassin, was urged today to take charge of the daily National Security Council (MKN) meetings to deal with the country’s struggling economy and the Covid-19 crisis.

DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said the latest surge in Covid-19 infections and series of movement control orders in several key states had caused a slow economic recovery.

In a statement, he said the Perikatan Nasional-led government’s crisis management failure, “riddled with double standards, policy flip-flops and SOP U-turns” were the major contributory factors of the sluggish recovery.

Lim accused the government of trying to shift responsibility onto the rakyat, citing the recent warnings by officials that there could be more than 5,000 Covid-19 daily cases after Hari Raya Aidilfitri and the threats to detain or even imprison those who violate MCO restrictions.
