He had some views on the state of the political opposition in Malaysia, as well as stating that the Malaysian government did not need to institute a state of national emergency to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic.
Emergency wasn t declared to control the pandemic
The former Youth and Sports Minister said: I personally do not think and believe that the state of emergency was declared to deal with the Covid pandemic, because the reality is the Covid pandemic could have already been dealt with (by) sufficient laws, especially to the calling of the movement control order (MCO) like the first time.
