KUALA LUMPUR – The scheduled daily press conference by Health Director-General Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah this evening has been cancelled, with the matter made known just over an hour after a special cabinet meeting at the Prime Minister’s Office ended.
A notice was sent out around 11am, saying Dr Noor Hisham will hold his regular presser to report the country’s latest Covid-19 updates at 5.30pm.
However, a ministry spokesman later said it will not take place, without specifying why.
Speculation has been rife that the meeting at PMO was called to discuss a potential cabinet reshuffle amid the current political imbroglio, and also the possibility of a state of emergency being declared given the coronavirus situation.
It is also rumoured that a snap election was discussed among ministers at today’s meet.
Free Malaysia Today, quoting a source, said the meet was to discuss Budget 2021.
No statement has been issued by PMO or any other cabinet member on the meeting. – The Vibes, October 23, 2020
