Umno’s Zahid highlights ‘double standards’ after Perikatan minister held gathering with 500 voters
Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has questioned the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government’s Covid-19 regulations after finding out a minister had allegedly held a gathering with 500 residents in Hulu Langat.
“[On Sunday] a minister reportedly met 500 residents in Hulu Langat. In my estimation, 500 people gatherings are very large,” he wrote on his Facebook page yesterday, saying that said minister had also approved an allocation of RM30,000 for the voters there,
“Only the public have to go online, schools have to go online, work has to go online, but the contribution of funds by the minister cannot go online? So far the government has banned activities in public gatherings, but a minister can do so?” he asked.
He said that since the government has not allowed any large gatherings, were ministers exempted from the regulations instead
