Muhyiddin says his focus is on those affected by Covid-19, not politics

 

Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin says his administration now prefers to focus on efforts to help those affected by the Covid-19 pandemic rather than talk politics.

He said the main focus now was on how to contain the spread of the virus as well as to ensure the country’s economic recovery.

“If I touch on politics (now), the people will be upset with me… the people are struggling as a result of Covid-19.

“People are suffering (but) the politics have not stopped... (such as) who will be the prime minister, the deputy prime minister, the division chief… the people are disgusted,” he said when addressing a gathering of community leaders in the Pagoh parliamentary constituency held at the Pagoh Sports Complex today.

The Pagoh MP, whose involvement in politics spans almost 40 years, said he preferred not to talk politics for now, and instead urged all community leaders regardless of their political affiliation to work together to fight Covid-19.
