[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Opposition MPs and netizens have called out Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin for stating that there is no need to raise white flags because the government is providing the needy with food baskets to get them through the Covid-19 pandemic.

Speaking to reporters after visiting a food aid distribution centre in Putrajaya, Muhyiddin said “it’s okay to hang a blue flag” (in apparent reference to Perikatan Nasional’s colours) and added that he thought that “if we go to the ground, we will probably find the kitchens of homes to be full (with supplies)”.

“I think we have a delusional Prime Minister who is quite divorced from what’s happening on the ground,” said Klang MP Charles Santiago.

“I wish to remind him that there are many living in hunger, with only one meal a day in Malaysia, right now.
