According to the Universiti Putra Malaysia Faculty of Human Ecology lecturer, the move made by Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi in declaring a political ceasefire last Wednesday had been well received by other political parties, who also wanted public interest to be focused on. Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s Institute of Ethnic Studies deputy director Assoc Prof Kartini Aboo Talib @ Khalid echoed his views and stressed that the agenda to empower the people needed to be translated in the form of responsibility by politicians.

Ahmad Zahid had previously stated that Umno would hold a political ceasefire to support the efforts being implemented by the Perikatan Nasional government to help the people and country face the pandemic as well as the economic downturn. However, measures to implement an emergency must also be the last resort to prevent an election in the near future, she said.
