KUCHING, June 19 — Batu Lintang assemblyman See Chee How said the announcement of the National Recovery Plan is raising more questions from Malaysians than it is providing answers to placate the swelling public discontent amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
“In this respect, it exposed yet again the lack of coordination between the federal and Sarawak governments in basing an indicator on the national daily Covid-19 cases instead of differentiating it by the three regions of Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak and Sabah,” he said.On the national figures of daily Covid-19 cases, See said it appeared from the past week that there was an encouraging downward trend.
“In Sarawak, we have registered 4,240 cases for the week of June 12 to 18, averaging 606 per day. The reduction is from a total of 4410 cases in the previous week June 5 to 11, averaging 630 a day. The improvement is certainly not as positive as that of the national,” he pointed out. “At this point, it is clear that much of the economic sectors will not be reopened anytime soon, most will be in September to October, while many will have to wait until November to December, when we are projected to enter the fourth and last phase.
He said the Pemerkasa-Plus aid packages was announced on May 31, prior to the enforcement of the MCO on June 1, not taking into account the MCO extension for two weeks and the present and further restrictions of the NRP of which the majority of the economic sectors will not be reopened before September or October and many will have to wait until November or December, providing that the NRP projections are correct.
