KUALA LUMPUR, May 20 — Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has urged Malaysians to take the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic more seriously, lest further complacency leads to more loss of life that could have been prevented.
He said that Putrajaya has claimed to have spent over RM600 billion in the fight against the pandemic.
“If so, we should have the capacity to deal with the pandemic, but obviously, we do not. We must know why, as RM600 billion is a lot of money. It is not easy to spend that money in such a short space of time,” Dr Mahathir said in a post on his blog chedet.cc.
