KUALA LUMPUR, June 16 — Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi thanked the Yang di-Pertuan Agong for listening to the public view that Parliament should be allowed to serve as the platform to voice the people’s concern.
He praised the Agong and Council of Ruler for identifying that the Parliament should be used to discuss aid for the people who are affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
“In the audience, I also explained that Parliament should be allowed to serve as the official platform of various voices the voice of the hearts of the people who are in distress like the demands of the moratorium automated in bulk, price control of goods, i-Sinar 2.0, i-Lestari 2.0 and various special assistance to the people while restoring the economy country,” he said in a statement tonight.
Zahid said Umno supported and also presented its stance on the Emergency not to be continued after August 1, as it did more harm than good for the country.
Interestingly, Zahid also supports and takes the proposal for a strong and stable government by the Council of Rulers seriously.
Umno also presented its stance that the need for Emergency would not continue after August 1, 2021 due the harm is greater to the country, whereas without the Emergency, the government can still manage issues related to the Covid-19 pandemic.
