Party secretary-general Datuk Chong Sin Woon ( pic) said the decision was a “pro-active measure to unite both sides of the political gap” and to counter the threat of the Covid-19 virus. “We believe that His Majesty and the Cabinet of Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin have made the right decision, enabling our medical frontliners to focus 100% on containing the pandemic and safeguarding public health, ” he said Tuesday (Jan 12). He noted that the Covid-19 situation in Malaysia has persistently deteriorated in the past three months, with the country’s public healthcare system pushed to the breaking point with four-digit daily increases.
