KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin (
pix) yesterday urged Malaysians not to be disheartened but to be resilient and rise above the challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic.
He said 2020 had been difficult, a year that gave many lessons to the people, and like many other nations, Malaysia also went through quite an extraordinary year.
“As the saying goes, “we cannot change the direction of the wind, but we can adjust our sails to always reach our destination’”..we are our own sails and let us work together to ride this storm,” he said in his message in conjunction with the 2021 New Normal Chinese New Year Open House aired on television channels last night.

COMMENT | The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has urged governments around the world to ensure accountability is practised as they allocate unprecedented amounts of funds to manage the Covid-19 pandemic.
As reported by the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), some political leaders have relied on the pandemic to increase their power, impose more restrictions on already limited access to information, eliminate transparency requirements from public procurement, and avoid public accountability mechanisms.
Like many other countries, Malaysia has announced large fiscal initiatives to address pressing issues such as rising unemployment, boosting social-welfare programmes, and meeting our urgent healthcare needs. At this time of economic uncertainty, the public is expecting much-needed support from the government.
