PM mulls inviting opposition for Economic Action Council, Covid-19 meetings

 

Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin is mulling the possibility of expanding bipartisan cooperation with the opposition beyond Budget 2021.

He said this may include inviting the opposition to sit in on certain government meetings.

"For the next level, I'm thinking about inviting the opposition to be on the Economic Action Council which I chair every week or the meeting to manage Covid-19, which I chair every day," he said in an interview with Astro Awani tonight.

Muhyiddin said he wanted to know their views and if they had any suggestions to remedy any measure which they felt was ineffective.

"This is not about giving credit to them, but for the people to benefit from their views," he said.

Asked whether this would extend to political cooperation, the Bersatu president said he did not want to make any predictions and that things would happen one step at a time.
