PETALING JAYA: Why delay reconvening Parliament until September or October when lawmakers have already been vaccinated against Covid-19, asks Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
PETALING JAYA: Why delay reconvening Parliament until September or October when lawmakers have already been vaccinated against Covid-19, asks Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi .
Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, in announcing the National Recovery Plan, had said on Tuesday that Parliament can reconvene in the third phase of the plan. Ahmad Zahid, who is also Bagan Datuk MP, said that Parliament can also reconvene virtually like many other countries around the world. "What is more confusing it has been announced that all economic sectors will be allowed to operate, except activities listed in the negative list during the third phase," he said, questioning whether Parliament would be listed under the “negative list”, which refers to activities that have a high risk of Covid-19 transmission.
