However, the Port Dickson MP said the stimulus package should be debated immediately in Parliament to enable members of the Dewan Rakyat to present their arguments. “I personally support the initiative by the prime minister but we have to debate,” he said during the debate on the motion of thanks for the royal address in the Dewan Rakyat. Touching on the issue of Covid-19, Anwar praised the actions of the Ministry of Health, especially its director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah in handling the spread of the pandemic. “We express our appreciation to our frontliners. When we mention the frontliners, include the doctors and specialists, and not forgetting technicians as well as cleaners,” he said.
