Parliament under lockdown after two Covid-19 cases detected, MPs told to stay put until screenings are done

KUALA LUMPUR, July 29 — Following the detection of two Covid-19 cases, Parliament will go into immediate lockdown with everyone present including staff, media and lawmakers barred from leaving the premises until mass swab tests are completed.

“I have received a letter from the Health director-general dated July 29 that reads, ‘It is with regret that the Ministry of Health was informed on July 29 at 12pm of two Covid-19 cases detected in Parliament’.

Irresponsible & reckless politicians and MPs. You wanted parliament to sit so badly, the least you could do is perform a swab test.

All dramas to start Parliament special seating was just an excuse for creating instability & chaos. Now all these hypocrites working double time for greed, power, money & posts. Not for the people or nation interest. All want to be PM & Govt so continue their agendas. Sad

Like taking hostages

...covid the convenient !?

Delay tactics lah

Call back those lari to PMs house and lockdown everyone in the parliament for 14 days. Let them debate vote or whatever inside the parliament.

Yang lari apa macam?

What an excuse. Gathering in PM's house is ok? Too many illogical reasons can be used by this govt

Lockdown sufficient? Need emco?

luckily our beloved PM was not around today.

How appropriately appropriate.

Owhh Allah...god almighty...pls save all our leaders no matter from which side they are. No matter some of them taking this pandemic for granted and still disobey your order. No matter they never see the real rootcause of this pandemic but just play politic for power and LUST!

Why so ngam wan, after Moo's house discussion? They think the rakyat are stupid ah? Damn...

What a day

But the ministers lari to PM house ok ? Spread the covid there , maids, cleaners , drivers, guards , police riders then they go back to their own hse ? No tangkap ?

What about those who went to PM's house just now? I hope that they will be brought back for the lockdown. Also since everyone is there why not just continue with the parliamentary sessions?

not enough to lock down the country. parliament locked down with the country's elected - while the unelected is scheming in chief traitor's house.

Covid19 Infection 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Fantastic. So, DGHisham knows the virus is more contagious after 2 pm every day. 😯 Is this also WHO's argument? Did DG also say that the virus become more transmissible after five days in the Parliament that the current session should not be extended? 🤔 so...ni salah DGHisham ?
