KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The Perikatan Nasional government had to take immediate action to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic without first tabling it in the Dewan Rakyat, says Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
Muhyiddin said the public needed immediate assistance as they were faced with a difficult and complicated situation and could not wait for the Parliament sitting which began Monday .
"In fact, I myself felt that immediate action had to be taken even though the Parliament sitting had not begun, ” he told the House. The Prime Minister said he understood the duties of MPs who had a responsibility to bring up the question of national expenditure, but the government had a duty to look after the people who were facing difficulties.
"They were facing difficulties, the industry was collapsing, businesses could not be conducted if we waited for today , ” he added.
