Selangor MPs slam ‘clueless’ knee-jerk EMCO

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Two Selangor MPs have slammed the “clueless” Perikatan Nasional-led government over the decision to impose an enhanced movement control order (EMCO) over most of the state from July 3 to July 16.

Klang MP Charles Santiago said the EMCO would be pointless if many sectors were still operating while leaving other companies and workers to suffer under the lockdown.

Senior minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob had said “essential” sectors could stay open while workers could leave EMCO areas for work using the letters previously issued by the international trade and industry ministry.

Santiago told FMT that the government must conduct mass screenings and vaccinations in the state, urging Putrajaya to bring the vaccines to the people rather than making them wait and go for appointments.

“Otherwise, it’s just a waste of time and you’re destroying the country and making our people poorer. Do you know the number of people who are out of a job and living in fear? This government has completely lost the plot.
