KUCHING – Putrajaya should not only focus on resetting its approach on managing the Covid-19 pandemic, but must also relook how it is managing the nation’s bruised economy by involving opposition leaders and parties as well, said a DAP lawmaker.
Bandar Kuching MP Dr Kelvin Yii told The Vibes that a paradigm shift in these two critical areas can be catalysed through a bipartisan “whole of society approach” and by stronger recognition of the opposition’s role, as well as its input on the country’s National Recovery Plan (NRP).
He said that the recent meeting between newly minted Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob and Pakatan Harapan (PH) leaders will not only help transform national politics for the better, but also shift the focus to a Covid-19 reset plan and economic turnaround plan.
“Many of our suggestions have been communicated to the prime minister in the meeting PH leaders had with him, and now, it is up to the current government to show its sincerity to implement them.
