PUTRAJAYA: The Prime Minister has called on Malaysians to keep up their fighting spirit in facing the Covid-19 pandemic.
Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin also noted that the solid cooperation between health frontliners and the general public had helped the country rise above adversity in the current situation.
“Let us all not be discouraged by the heavy challenges that we are facing in this pandemic.
“This fight and struggle would not have succeeded without the sacrifices that every one of us made.
“We must keep up this spirit and continue to help one another. Hopefully, we can get out of this pandemic as soon as possible,” said Muhyiddin in his speech during the live telecast of the Mega Selawat PKRC programme yesterday.
He also called on Malaysians to work together in making the National Recovery Plan a success.
“Our healthcare system still remains strong and has not collapsed, thanks to the efforts and contributions by every one of us.
“Now, we are in the first phase of the National Recovery Plan and this is our hope for getting out of this pandemic in the next few years, if not months.
“We must keep fighting and helping our fellow Malaysians who are affected by the pandemic.
“The government has done what it can to help the rakyat and it will continue to do so,” he added.
