MP criticises abrupt announcement of MCO relaxation, says will cause confusion while Covid-19 still a threat
Kuching MP Dr Kelvin Yii Lee Wuen said the prime minister should have announced the relaxation of the movement control order in a full and detailed manner on Monday instead of during a public holiday just before the weekend. — Picture by Yusof Mat Isa
He also said the announcement should have included a clear and holistic exit plan on how Malaysia is meant to recover while Covid-19 has not been fully eradicated. He added the government should also provide a clearer picture and prepare detailed frequently-asked-questions sheets as soon as possible to reduce the confusion and to make sure compliance of the needed procedures are properly done.
Separately, Sarawak United People’s Party Wanita chief Kho Teck Wan urged the state government to not follow Putrajaya’s decision on the reopening of the economic sectors and businesses.
