Dear Muhyiddin
You now lament that you have come in as “prime minister not at the best moment” and “face political, economic and health crisis all at the same time”. PM not at the best moment? Was it not you and Azmin who contrived the moment?
The People’s Parliament
God’s peace be with you.
I caught your Covid-19 stimulus package press conference on TV the other day.
A good package?
I am hopeless with all the figures bandied about, and there are experts aplenty bisecting and dissecting the RM250b package, so I wont even go there.
I will trust Dr Jeyakumar Devaraj in his assessment, as reported in Malaysiakini today :
“…the Caring Economic Stimulus Package (Pakej Rangsangan Prihatin) is on the right track”.
In that same report, Dr Jeyakumar said one other thing :
“Malaysia is handling this health crisis much better than many other countries…”
I agree with Dr Jeyakumar, and whilst much more needs to be done, full credit for this must go to all the health care workers and everyone who is in the frontline in battling the Covid-19 pandemic.
And whilst the current circumstance of the nation warrants politics taking a backseat so that all attention may be turned to the national crisis at hand, I must address one other thing that you raised during the Prihatin press conference.
You know what it is, but let me run the video here for you.
First, though, a question.
In your press conference you spoke mainly in Malay.
Except when you came to this part that I am now referring to.
Why?
So that Makcik Kiah, eagerly listening to find out what handouts might be coming her way, might not comprehend the purport of what you were saying here?
Meant only for the English speaking amongst the viewers?
