Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin‘s latest speech on 6 October failed to show even an ounce of leadership. A leadership, that is sorely needed in this critical moment for our nation.
Liew Chin Tong, DAP Senator in the Dewan Negara iterated that the rapid increase in Covid-19 cases require solutions, not awkward inappropriate humour.

In case you missed it, the 16th Sabah State Election was held because there was an attempt at a coup from the Minister of Home Affairs, Hamzah Zainuddin along with former Sabah Chief Minsiter, Musa Aman.
