DAP has urged Putrajaya to open the membership of the National Security Council (NSC) to the opposition to form a united front against Covid-19.
In a statement today, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said public confidence in the government has been greatly eroded after a third round of nationwide movement control order (MCO) was announced.
"Public confidence must be restored because the battle against Covid-19 can only be won by working together with the people.
"To restore the people’s trust, Parliament must be restored and reopened, and opposition leaders invited to sit in the National Security Council to form a united front against Covid-19," said Lim.
He said this will be a step towards Perikatan Nasional (PN)'s admission of its failure and finally resolving the issues that have necessitated another round of MCO.
"Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin must listen to, engage, and work together with all Malaysians if he wants to ensure that the MCO 3.0 can succeed in winning against the latest wave of Covid-19 infections.
"MCO 3.0 can be the final MCO for Malaysia if the PN government admits its failures, restores Parliament, stops Covid-19 SOPs and policy U-turns, end double standards in enforcement, allow competent professionals to decide, and focus on saving jobs, businesses, and economic livelihood," said Lim.
He added that the government must consider the views of the public or the cycle of policy U-turns and confusion will continue.
He said that as of yesterday, the Sabah government had already given Putrajaya a vote of no confidence by refusing to impose MCO or mandatory closure of malls flagged by the Hotspots Identification for Dynamic Engagement (Hide) in the territory.
All other states and territories will face MCO restrictions until June 7, where there will be limits to travel, a ban on dining in, and mandatory closure of schools. - Mkini
