Yoursay Please Don T Play Politics With Our Lives

YOURSAY | ‘If people in Selangor are infected, can they not pass it on to others in other states?’Five Harapan states excluded from PM's Covid-19 meetingGerard Lourdesamy: This (the special meeting to coordinate the enforcement of the movement control order in all states) is the sort of pettiness that defeats the Perikatan Nasional (PN) federal government's claim of inclusiveness in the fight against Covid-19
This is not the time for politics and revenge
All five states have democratically-elected governments. The 8th prime minister (Muhyiddin Yassin) should walk the talk. Enough of just optics and sound bites
If the five states are not included in our battle against the pandemic, it will worsen and more lives will be affected or lost. I thought that Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin would be bigger than this
Anonymous_1544340881: This is the type of government Malaysia has. Playing politics with people's lives. The sad thing is that it is so incredibly stupid and short-sighted, the mind boggles
If people in Selangor are infected, can they not pass it on to others in other states? The virus does not discriminate between government supporters and opposition supporters
Brunei and Singapore must be thanking their lucky stars they never joined Bolehland
Headhunter: How selfish and irresponsible. Is this the type of government and leaders we now have? So, they don't give a damn for the people in the other states even if they die
It's inhuman and totally unacceptable. The NGOs and other organisations should come out in force to condemn them
Existential Turd: They keep saying "we are in this together", but it looks like "we" does not include half of Malaysia. Even now, they want to play politics with human lives
Fair Play: So, I suppose the Malay-first PM of PN only believes in an exclusive instead of an inclusive federal government in dealing with national matters and national crises
Indeed, Covid-19 does not discriminate. All 'victims' are treated equally on a first-come-first-serve basis
Anonymous_1547638166059.10451547637684383: Malay-first PM, are you implying that these five states have no Malays
Can you still recall when Pakatan Harapan was the government? They gave the opposition allocations even though they didn't get anything when BN ruled
Now here we are, the backdoor government is behaving like the BN goons
I still remember some comments criticising the Harapan government for the small allocation. See what happen now
MW: Absolutely irresponsible, partisan politics at a time of crisis; not to mention, they are also letting their own supporters suffer
I have to take back what I wrote about Muhyiddin doing the right thing during this health crisis and the need for all Malaysians to rise above partisan politics in this time of need
If this report is true and some states, especially Selangor with its highest infection rates, has been excluded only because it is not part of this backdoor government, I condemn the PM
Fairman: It is terrible that a prime minister, who is said to have 40 years of experience in public administration, could deliberately do this to exclude five states in the meeting. I hope the Council of Rulers will notice this
Two people have been reported dead as of yesterday. Even before the partial shutdown is to begin today, the chances of success look extremely remote
Look at the panic buying and the people intending to ‘balik kampung’. What is there to stop others from travelling via the North-South Expressway from now until March 31
What sin did most of us do to have this government
Godfearing: It is now abundantly clear that PM8 is not a PM for all Malaysians. Even in crisis times, he is putting party interest first before national interest
He should have taken an inclusive approach. This doesn’t augur well for the people’s welfare and wellbeing
He could have had a more fruitful meeting if he had included Harapan/opposition states. Let us not forget that Covid-19 was kept under control during the Harapan administration. It is now spinning out of control under the backdoor government. Cry Malaysia
Anonymous_a3b6a7a9: Yes, this is truly lacking in maturity. It is unbelievable that PN would stoop from the low that they were already at. My goodness
We are talking about the rakyat here. What does it matter who rules which state? As if the virus is avoiding certain states
Shouldn’t at times like this that there be compassion and thoughtfulness? And all, regardless of race, religion, gender, political affiliation, be treated fairly
If PN is nitpicking at times like this, it says a lot about the government of the day. It is very disturbing and extremely worrying
Anonymous_1568102775036.6721568101904991: This pettiness is outrageous. PN is acting like a child instead of a responsible government, and that too at a time of a national crisis when politics should be put aside
Their action just emphasises their lack of credibility as a government of the people
Clever Voter: Everything is politicised in this country. From birth to death, all politicians are used to this - it's their party interest first and not public interest
That's the roots of the problems confronting the nation. Harapan leaders cannot complain, they did the same to the opposition. The agenda is not about saving lives, it's about scoring brownie points
RZee: Nothing new here. This is our government. Get used to it, and maybe you have to die getting used to it. It’s all about politics and never about governing for all. - Mkini
