Mat Sabu slams Azmin over calls to unite against Covid-19
Amanah president Mohamad Sabu has slammed Perikatan Nasional information chief Azmin Ali over the latter’s call to unite with the people in facing the Covid-19 pandemic.
Mohamad, who is better known by his moniker Mat Sabu, said everyone is already involved in the pandemic and there is no need for him to issue the statement.
“All of the rakyat are involved in the pandemic. There is no need to tell us.
“We are all working together in facing the Covid-19 pandemic, there is no need for anyone to tell us. We take collective responsibility (regardless of political affiliation), no need for anyone to tell us,” he told reporters when met at Wisma Amanah Negara in Kuala Lumpur today.
He said this when asked to comment on Azmin’s call yesterday for all parties to unite in containing the spread of the disease, especially politicians.

Azmin also said PN is determined to work hard with the people and frontliners to tackle the pandemic.
When contacted for comments regarding Azmin’s statement, PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said Azmin should heed lessons from a quote by Caliph Umar Al-Khattab.
“It is hard for us to heed the advice of a traitor. So, to borrow his words to (PKR president Anwar Ibrahim), look in the mirror first.
“And my advice to Azmin is a piece of advice attributed to Caliph Umar. Umar said even a prosperous country could face ruin, and his companions asked how a prosperous country could be ruined.
“Umar replied that is if the head of the government (the prime minister in this context) is a traitor and its wealth is owned by people who are fasiq (impious, depraved).
“My advice to Azmin is to heed Umar’s message,” he told Malaysiakini.
