Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak has criticised Putrajaya for shunning non-allied state governments in a high-level meeting on the handling of the Covid-19 crisis.
Taking to Facebook, Najib said that during crisis and threats, Malaysians need to come together.
To emphasis this, Najib uploaded photographs of him with Kelantan Menteri Besar Ahmad Yakob in 2014 and then Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng in 2017.
"(During a crisis) we need to work together, put aside squabbles and differences.
"Nothing can be an obstacle among us during such a time. Race? Religion? Political leanings? No way!
"There is no Malays, Chinese, Indians, Muslims, Hindus, Christians, or opposition states, fence-sitter states.
"We are one. We are united. There is no pro-government or opposition states when the lives of Malaysians are at stake.
"Let us plan to face this threat together. We are 1Malaysia," he said.
Earlier today, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin chaired a coordination meeting on the enforcement of the movement control order.
However, only the heads of government from states ruled by Perikatan Nasional or Gabungan Parti Sarawak attended.
The heads of government for Penang, Kedah, Negeri Sembilan and Sabah claim that they were not invited to the meeting.
In a statement, Pakatan Harapan condemned decision to sideline the five states, pointing out 40 percent of the population lived in those states and that lives were at stake. - Mkini
