Dr Mahathir Mohamad criticised the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government for being engrossed with its Covid-19 plans, which he said had proven to be unsuccessful as daily Covid-19 cases in the country hit a high of over 17,000.
The Langkawi MP said the PN government was more interested in touting irrelevant figures instead of the proper ways to tackle the pandemic.
“It is strange that when the emergency was proclaimed, we recorded daily new cases of 2,000 but now when the government is ending the emergency, we cross the 17,000-mark and this is absurd when it is being done at this time.
“This proved what has been said by the opposition parties, including Pejuang, that the emergency was for the government to play politics and was not meant to address Covid-19," he said.
