In times of crisis, like today’s coronavirus widespread in our nation, the parliament as the highest institution in this country must ensure our people and the nation’s well-being are being prioritised by the government of the day. In this case, even if the coronavirus is yet to be under control and the movement control order (MCO) is being implemented, the period and time of the parliamentary sittings should not be reduced no matter what it takes in order to ensure the sitting government is properly checked and scrutinised in whatever it undertakes to ensure public interests are maintained, corruption, power abuse and mismanagement of funds can be prevented.

Perkara utama yang PH perlu berikan tumpuan adalah memastikan beberapa siri pembaharuan yang telah dirancang oleh kepimpinan mereka sewaktu berkerajaan sebelum ini diteruskan melalui kerajaan pemberontak PN dengan pemantauan dan pe...
