90% mark for Ismail Sabri’s cabinet a sham: Kit Siang

KUALA LUMPUR – The 90% score given to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s cabinet has drawn flak from DAP.

Party supremo Lim Kit Siang said the cabinet hardly deserves the passing mark of 50% and Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin, although the best performing, does not get more than a passing grade.

“Would you give a 90% score for achieving at the end of the first 100 days more than twice the daily new Covid-19 cases and more than 16 times the daily Covid-19 deaths when compared to the day when emergency was declared?

“On Tuesday, Malaysia recorded 4,966 daily new Covid-19 cases and 66 Covid-19 deaths, which deteriorated to 5,466 daily new Covid-19 cases and 41 Covid-19 deaths yesterday. On Tuesday, we had cumulative totals of 2,667,999 Covid-19 cases and 30,719 Covid-19 deaths.

“When emergency was declared on January 11 to combat the Covid-19 pandemic, we had 2,232 daily new Covid-19 cases and four Covid-19 deaths – and a cumulative total of 138,224 Covid-19 cases and 555 Covid-19 deaths,” said Lim in a statement today.
