Anwar said it is more important to focus on the economic and social impact that the pandemic will have on the nation, rather than debate political matters.

KUALA LUMPUR, April 14 — PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has assured the Perikatan Nasional administration that the issue of a no-confidence vote will not arise if a special parliamentary session is convened to debate the country’s ongoing Covid-19 measures.

The Port Dickson MP was also critical of what he deemed to be the lack of a central coherent message among PN’s leadership. “The optimism recently expressed by the finance minister over some projections that Malaysia can recover to 5.8 per cent growth in 2021 is troubling, in light of the fact that we still do not know the full extent of the Covid-19 crisis impact, when it will end and how it will impact all of the economies which are linked to ours.
