Anyone surprised? Najib mocks govt over lockdown extension
There wouldn’t be heavy traffic on the roads if the total lockdown is imposed properly, says Najib Razak.
PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Najib Razak took a sly dig at the Perikatan Nasional-led (PN) government tonight after the lockdown was extended for two more weeks, asking if anyone was surprised by the announcement.
“Is anyone surprised by the PN government’s announcement that the total lockdown, which isn’t that ‘total’, has been extended two more weeks,” he said in a Facebook post.
In a later posting, Najib urged the government to quickly dispense aid to the people, as they brace for another two weeks of lockdown.
He called for Putrajaya to announce extensions to the i-Sinar and i-Lestari Employees Provident Fund (EPF) schemes and for government aid to be expedited and increased in amount.
“Direct banks to give automatic loan moratoriums with no added interest for three months,” he added.
He also urged the government to offer discounts on electricity bills for everyone and for bottled cooking oil to be subsidised to lighten the people’s load during this time.
“Lastly, if you want to do a total lockdown, then make it a total lockdown. Understand what total or full means. It shouldn’t be a lockdown where we have traffic jams, like now,” he said.
Meanwhile, PKR MP Wong Chen said the government has clearly failed to contain the pandemic despite the two-week total lockdown and movement control order (MCO) imposed over the Klang Valley since early May.
The Subang MP said the erratic “yo-yo” Covid-19 cases also suggested that daily infections were linked to the number of tests conducted instead of whether the lockdown has been effective.
“After 11 days of total lockdown and the fact that Selangor and KL have been under MCO since May 3, the data is clear: this PN government has completely failed to contain the pandemic with the MCO.
“Will this PN government buck up and do the total lockdown properly? How can you have a total lockdown when thousands of non-essential companies have been exempted?
“These exemptions are public health risks and highly unfair to the employers who have adhered to the lockdown and closed their businesses. Now the same responsible employers are burdened further by the lockdown extension,” he said in a Facebook post.

a benovelant thief is talking. in msia, conman, thief, gajibuta, communist tongue talk the loudest.
ReplyDeleteNo!
DeleteNot as loud as those katak-ised mfers croaking till kingdom comes under that fart filled well for their demoNcratic wet dream!
i know emperor xi no nid talk, his asslicker do the toking for him.
Delete3 of the most powerful decision making ministers on the Covid-19 response are from UMNO - Defence, Health and the one in charge of procuring and distributing vaccines.
ReplyDeleteSo...it is fair to conclude UMNO is bloody useless.
Why no bang table for the return of super-duper GST? Only a fair-weather tax? What happened to the 4B KWAP money that lenyap? That alone can pay for all the vaccines (3.5 Billion).
ReplyDeleteThat's why lah ! No money to repay that loan (for now) so contract awarded to Pharmaniaga to fill and finish, major shareholder is KWAP mah. End of the day the loan is guaranteed by the government, principal plus interest (nothing will be un-repaid) and now on top of that an excuse to make super profit so later on can declare good dividend to all those members, end recipients all ex-civil servants/pensioners (government is so good, must continue to support), meanwhile all those cabled appointees as chairman, directors, managers can continue to draw "buta-gaji", one stone kill so many birds mah.
DeleteEnd of the day the loan is guaranteed by the government, principal plus interest (nothing will be un-repaid)
Delete!!!
Where does the govt get the money to pay for these loans?
Printing more ringgit as the USofA?
Or the more likely path of Zimbabwe & Venezuela!
Just my wish and hope that Malaysia will not reach the path of Zimbabwe & Venezuela! If we do, "no eye see" liau .......
DeletePay your cukai first lah, 1.7 billion from the 4 billion KWAP you sapu. Can pay for lots of vaccine.

Court refuses to freeze order for Najib to pay RM1.69b taxes, says all taxpayers treated equally
Ida Lim 14 Jun, 2021
KUALA LUMPUR, June 14 — The High Court today dismissed Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s application to temporarily suspend a 2020 court order for him to pay RM1.69 billion in taxes and late payment penalties claimed by the government.
In a judgement delivered online today by email and sighted by the media, High Court judge Datuk Ahmad Bache dismissed the stay application by Najib and also required him to pay legal costs of RM15,000.
Among other things, the judge had said that Najib’s case did not fall under “special circumstances” that would justify the court granting a stay — which is a temporary suspension of enforcement or execution — of the RM1.69 billion summary judgement.
