KUALA LUMPUR, July 25 — The DAP released a policy position paper today proposing its strategies for Malaysians to live with Covid-19 even as it urged the government to move away from containment measures and prevent further devastation of lives and livelihood.
The paper, titled “Gearing Malaysia Towards Living With Covid-19”, suggested key strategies that would seek to control and mitigate the current wave of infections, prepare for future outbreaks, and open up social and economic sectors with safety catches.
Former finance minister and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said there was a need for a paradigm shift after cases continue to soar despite the government having enforced strict restrictions.
“The ‘new normal’ is not about living with perpetual lockdowns in their various forms,” the Bagan MP said in a virtual press conference this afternoon.
