MPs question chief secretary’s presence at Perikatan meeting
PETALING JAYA: Two opposition MPs have raised questions over the presence of the chief secretary, Mohd Zuki Ali, at a meeting of the Perikatan Nasional presidential council.
“Why was KSN involved in a Perikatan Nasional political meeting?” said Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh, using the Malay abbreviation for chief secretary. “Don’t get civil servants involved in political meetings. Not professional!”
She questioned whether the chief secretary would give the same briefing to opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, who is PKR president; Lim Guan Eng, who is DAP secretary-general, Mohamad Sabu (president of Amanah), Mohd Shafie Apdal (Warisan president), and former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
Tanjong Malim MP Chang Lih Kang also tweeted that the Perikatan Nasional political meeting involved the chief secretary.
PN chairman Muhyiddin Yassin, who is prime minister, chaired a virtual meeting of the PN presidential council.
Muhyiddin said the meeting was attended by the heads of PPBM, Umno, Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu, MCA, MIC, Parti Rakyat Sarawak, Sarawak United Peoples’ Party, Progressive Democratic Party, Parti Bersatu Sabah, STAR and Sabah Progressive Party.
Muhyiddin said the presidents were given a briefing about the Emergency Ordinance by de facto law minister Takiyuddin Hassan. Deputy Director-General of Health, Dr Norhizan Ismail and the chief secretary also addressed the meeting.
“Various issues were discussed and the leaders were happy with the discussions on the Emergency Ordinance, managing the emergency, Covid-19 and the vaccination programme that will start in February,” Muhyiddin said in a statement.
Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said later that he had questioned why other countries had managed to reduce the rate of Covid-19 infections without declaring an emergency, whereas Malaysia had done so and the people were increasingly miserable. - FMT
