KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's parliament can reconvene during the third phase of the national recovery plan, which is likely to happen in September or October this year, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said on Tuesday .
"I wish to give my commitment that the parliament meeting can be held in this phase, around September or October, with tight standard operating procedures in place," he said in a televised address to unveil the plan.Mr Muhyiddin said this had been his stance since early on that Malaysia's system of parliamentary democracy could function again at the appropriate time when COVID-19 cases were under control and the country nearly reached herd immunity.
The national recovery plan is a four-phase COVID-19 exit strategy beginning with the current total lockdown. Daily COVID-19 cases, intensive care unit occupancy andvaccination rate are the three indicators for the country to transition from one phase to another.To enter phase three, daily cases have to fall below 2,000, the public healthcare capacity is at a comfortable level with enough ICU beds, and 40 per cent of Malaysia's population have received both vaccine doses, Mr Muhyiddin said.
Malaysian King Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah grants an audience to Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin on Jun 9, 2021. In a statement on Tuesday, the palace said their views would be presented in the special Malay rulers' meeting at 2.30pm on Wednesday.The government has rolled out stimulus packages worth RM380 billion in total since the pandemic.
