YOUR OPINION | And let’s do it in public, with social distancing, of course.
Muhyiddin’s ‘rotate’ joke receives criticism from netizens
Oxymoronic trends: Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin must face the reality that while most Rakyat adhere to SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures), it is their colleagues who are primarily to blame for treating SOPs with disdain and contempt.
You need to discipline politicians and their acolytes, which are the main reason for the recent dramatic increase in infection rates in Malaysia.
But it cannot do that because its slim parliamentary majority would evaporate. But that’s your problem to fix it. Surely he needs to bring the “rotan” to his colleagues, and even to himself and his acolytes.
Lead by example, Muhyiddin. If you want to be “abah,” then lead by example. You, your colleagues and acolytes are not above the law, but you clearly think and act as if you are.
Their disdain and careless attitude are endangering the health and safety of the entire country. And you have the audacity to suggest that it is the rakyat who do not adhere to your SOPs. You need to look much closer to home!
Anonymous 540: There is nothing in Muhyiddin’s written speech that we don’t know. It was a huge waste of time listening to it.
But its screenwriter had missed something important: that the prime minister should humbly apologize to the public for mishandling the events in Sabah that caused the surge and bad border enforcement that imported the super spreader virus.
Blue Mountains: First, punish ministers who failed to implement the mandatory 14-day quarantine on all returnees from Sabah, starting on the day of the nomination on September 12.
Why was the mandatory 14-day quarantine not implemented when Sabah was already a hotspot? The lack of implementation has allowed many politicians to roam the country and contributed to this new wave.
Many politicians were caught on camera without wearing a mask while campaigning, yet no action was taken against them.
WhiteJiraffe1831: There are many of us, spread all over the world, who have not been able to see our families for many months.
We wait patiently for the numbers to drop and do what they tell us. It’s not that we don’t miss our loved ones, but we literally have to choose between our jobs and our families. How funny do you think your ‘rotate’ joke is to us?
Albert Ponniah: The sudden rise in Covid-19 has affected Malaysians emotionally, this time more than ever because it hits them when they feel good to see the end.
Therefore, any prime minister of a country should be very sensitive about it and not joke about it. People are dying.
The prime minister must say the right thing at the right time. As it was heard, our prime minister fell short. Hope you correct this without hesitation. Humility on a high pedestal is a human virtue. Your adversity is negligence by choice.
Head hunter: I totally agree with Muhyiddin that we should use the cane. Let’s start with the wayward politicians first. And let’s do it in public, with social distancing, of course.
Tentarik: You should take out the baton earlier and use it at Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Khairuddin Aman Razali, then your ministers will line up. Actions speak louder than words.
Rupert16: I could not agree more. Another person who deserves the ‘rotan’ is Sabah’s former chief minister, Musa Aman, whom Muhyiddin has released to create instability in state government that resulted in the Sabah elections.
If anything, Muhyiddin owes the rakyat a huge apology for his ‘gila kuasa’ (power-mad).
7 ministers quarantined, prime minister says no double standards
Cyclone: Muhyiddin, now there are no double standards? Why not before?
While it would be unfair to say that your recalcitrant and authoritative ministers were solely responsible for this situation, I would say that their attitude definitely had a significant impact on the outcome.
So here we are, faced once again with another economic hit due to this outbreak and putting leaders and the public at risk because of a selfish and reckless few who have yet to face any consequences for their action, which would also serve as deterrent. other people (especially politicians).
Mr PM, the cabinet and its ministers brief you. Please do what is right and necessary for us and put your political considerations aside.
Vijay47: It is good to hear that the government does not practice double standards. So when will the full range of investigations into Khairuddin be completed and firm action taken?
Remember, “The compound fee was paid on August 7” is not washed.
Be a man: No double standards? Who would believe this as long as no action is taken against the minister who recently ignored quarantine regulations after returning from Turkey?
Perakian: “Also in quarantine are seven ministers and six vice ministers. None are exempt. “
What is special about them? The ministers are politicians, they are voted for by the people, they work for the people. They should not be treated as VIP at all.
Mohd Bakri 3: I do not understand. Muhyiddin said not to play the blame game. But a while ago, they said that this Covid resurgence is due to illegals crossing into Sabah.
Why did the illegals only cross into Sabah during the campaign period when they know that security must actually increase? Something doesn’t make sense there, does it?
Hang Babeuf: “Muhyiddin emphasized that now was not the time to point fingers and urged Malaysians to ignore those who are trying to politicize the pandemic.”
As things fall apart and the nation falls into this pit of infection, it takes much more than this weak and pathetic admonition, So Sri!
Are you the prime minister or not? Many people think that you are not a legitimate PM. Are they. But he is not behaving as if he is convinced of his position, his right to occupy it, his authority, either. Even if you are a phony, you should at least try to play the part!
GrayHawk8513: I was expecting the announcement of some additional actions to curb the outbreak and perhaps some plans to help citizens who are economically affected by this new wave.
Instead, for 30 minutes, I just hear “it’s not my fault.”
