Anwar must be responsible when touching on emergency issue - Azmin

Perikatan Nasional information chief Azmin Ali has reminded Anwar Ibrahim to be more responsible when commenting on the proclamation of emergency to contain the spread of Covid-19.

Azmin, who is also Bersatu supreme council member, said the opposition leader should not drag the people into the matter when what they needed was assistance and support from the government.

"This is a people's issue. This is an issue on the safety and health of the people. Don't continue to politicise it.

"They can give their views and criticisms to the government but don't play politics at the expense of the people,” he told reporters after presenting donations during the humanitarian aid mission of the International Trade and Industry Ministry (Miti) and its agencies at the Social Welfare Department office in Kota Tinggi today.

He said this when commenting on claims by the Port Dickson MP on Thursday (Jan 14) that he had written to all the MPs asking them to write to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah to revoke the proclamation of emergency.

The PKR president was also reported to have said that he hoped the Agong would order that a Parliament sitting be held immediately, before Jan 31.

Azmin, who is senior minister cum Miti minister, said although a state of emergency had been enforced, it did not interfere with the progress of the federal and state governments as their main responsibility was to help the people.
