Straits Times quoted several anonymous sources saying today’s meeting was to discuss several proposals on dealing with the upcoming Budget 2021 tabling next month while the country is grappling with a third wave of Covid-19 infections and challenges to the legitimacy of the Perikatan Nasional government helmed by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. — Bernama pic
One of these options was purportedly for the government to declare an “economic emergency”, to thwart the possibility of snap polls being forced and to provide more time for the ruling PN to rein in the infections without being distracted by political instability.“Instead, normal life under the movement control order will continue without politics getting in the way of dealing with a health crisis,” one of the unnamed sources, said to have knowledge of these options, told ST.
The Singapore paper claimed that the Malay Rulers have been “made aware” of the possibility of special powers being conferred to the Muhyiddin administration. According to the Singapore paper, other options for the government would be to table a “unity budget” to tackle the more immediate threats posed by Covid-19 that have also crippled the economy.
