You can suspend Parliament, so why not delay building RM35m halls in Johor? PKR Youth tells Muhyiddin

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 17 — PKR Youth chief Akmal Nasir has urged Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to postpone the construction of three multipurpose halls in his home state of Johor, as its funds could better be used to fight the Covid-19 pandemic.

He said the RM35 million currently allocated can also be channelled to the Health Ministry so that the scope of swab tests can be widened, the capacity of quarantine centres increased, and frontliners augmented.

“As the prime minister can suspend Parliament by declaring Emergency, supposedly to fight Covid-19, what is wrong if the construction of the halls were to be suspended as well?” Akmal said in a statement.

Last week, Muhyiddin announced an Emergency that would also suspend the sittings of Parliament and all state legislative assemblies.
