I WOULD like to register my deepest respect and appreciation to the Malay rulers and the Yang di-Pertuan Agong for their statements released after their meeting yesterday.

We urge the government to revoke the emergency by August 1, in line with the call by the rulers, who have noted that it has failed to bring down the number of daily Covid-19 infections in the country.

It is heartwarming that the Malay rulers and His Majesty the Agong have also understood the suffering of the rakyat brought about by job and income losses.

Perikatan Nasional must take heed of the observation made by the Malay rulers and His Majesty the Agong about the fragile unity among Malaysians.

This statement is bold and takes a whack at Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s government.

Muhyiddin has failed as the top leader in the country, and the only graceful thing left for him to do is to step down.

We are seeing unprecedented levels of xenophobia in the country, manufactured to deflate attention from the government’s ineptitude.

I call for the prime minister to resign with immediate effect and for Parliament to reconvene urgently. – The Vibes, June 17, 2021
