Malaysians have finally seen light at the end of the tunnel of the 18-month Covid-19 pandemic with the Conference of Rulers special meeting yesterday.
It has ended the various speculations and theories including those with dubious constitutional basis and legitimacy on how the country is to negotiate the constitutional impasse where no person seems to command a clear majority in Parliament while the country is faced with an existential threat by the Covid-19 pandemic – with Malaysia suddenly becoming one of the world’s top worst performing nations in the Covid-19 pandemic while countries which had hogged the world limelight in the first 12 months of the pandemic have turned a corner and doing quite well in the war against the Covid-19 pandemic, especially with their national vaccination rollouts.

The Prime Minister’s chief private secretary Marzuki Mohamad’s memorandum to all civil servants to utilise the Prime Minister’s legal name, Mahiaddin Md Yasin for all government documents raises the question whether Muhyiddin also known as Mahiaddin needs to take a new oath of office before the Yang di Pertuan Agong to be Prime Minister of Malaysia.
It also raises the questions whether Muhyiddin also known as Mahiaddin had been properly sworn in as Member of Parliament for Pagoh and Johore State Assemblyman for Gambir. Read the rest of this entry »
#kerajaangagal114 – Were MPs given priority for vaccination not to enable them to perform their constitutional role of check-and-balance of the Executive to ensure good governance but to provide the excuse for Ministers and Deputy Ministers to be vaccinated?

Under the Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s National Recovery Plan, Parliament is scheduled to meet in September or October when the country enters Phase Three of the government’s Covid-19 exit plan, when there is an average of less than 2,000 Covid-19 cases daily, sufficient ICU capacity and up to 40 percent of the population fully vaccinated.
Two questions come to mind: Firstly, were MPs given priority for vaccination not to enable them to perform their constitutional role to perform check-and-balance role of the Executive to ensure that there is good governance, effective and efficient government and the rule of law but to provide the excuse for Ministers and Deputy Ministers to be vaccinated?

The Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s much-hyped live national telecast yesterday on the National Recovery Plan is a great disappointment and let-down as it offers not light at the end of the tunnel, only fog and more fog.
Let me here first give five reasons why Muhyiddin’s national recovery plan is no plan for recovery.

#kerajaangagal103 – Can Hamzah impose his will on the Muhyiddin Cabinet that Parliament can only meet when herd immunity against coronavirus is achieved?
Posted by Kit in COVID-19, Parliament on Saturday, 12 June 2021
(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)
It is most intriguing why the Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, is keeping so quiet on the bizarre idea of the Home Minister, Hamzah Zainuddin that the Malaysian Parliament can only meet when herd immunity against Covid-19 is achieved by the end of the year.
Hamzah first came out with this bizarre idea last Friday on 4th June and it was regarded as quite a looney one. I had observed that it was fortunate that Hamzah’s idea had not “infected” the rest of the world or it would be the death knell for democracy. Read the rest of this entry »
#kerajaangagal102 – Muhyiddin must make clear whether Hamzah’s bizarre idea that Parliament can only meet when herd immunity against coronavirus is achieved represents government policy
Posted by Kit in COVID-19, Muhyiddin Yassin, Parliament on Friday, 11 June 2021
Clearly, the Home Minister, Hamzah Zainuddin has not given up his bizarre idea that Parliament will only sit after the country has achieved herd immunity against Covid-19 virus.
Today, he poured cold water on a proposal to set up a hybrid Parliament during the emergency and publicly humiliated not only the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Parlaiment), Taikiyyuddin Hassan, who announced the proposal for a hybrid Parliament, but also the Dewan Rakyat speaker, Dewan Negara president, the Dewan Negara deputy president, both deputy speakers of the Dewan Rakyat, and Parliament’s chief administrator who are currently studying the proposal.

When I started on the #kerajaangagal hashtag media statements on Sunday, 18th April 2021, I had no idea how many such statements I would be writing.
But I found no difficulty whatsoever in writing #kerajaangagal media statements, sometimes two or even three a day, as examples of a failed and kakistocratic administration, especially in the mishandling of the Covid-19 pandemic, were aplenty. Read the rest of this entry »
#kerajaangagal100 — why the bloated Muhyiddin Cabinet is the most irrelevant and inconsequential in Malaysian history?
Posted by Kit in Muhyiddin Yassin, Parliament on Thursday, 10 June 2021
(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)
In his apologia yesterday for the failed kakistocratic Muhyiddin government, the principal private secretary to the Prime Minister, Marzuki Mohamad, tried to explain why the National Operations Council (NOC), as proposed by some quarters, is not suitable in Malaysia’s current fight against Covid-19 and its efforts to revive the economy.
He claimed that there is at present “a working and functioning Cabinet” which convenes every Wednesday and many decisions are made not only related to the Covid-19 pandemic, but also in regards to the country’s administration, economic management, people’s welfare, finance, security, defence, education, international relations and other matters related to the overall governing of the country.

#kerajaangagal95 — Possibility that Malaysia may be barred from Tokyo Olympics should be final evidence that the emergency declared on January 11 which suspended Parliament and the State Assemblies had been a great failure in the war against Covid-19 pandemic and time for a new start

#kerajaangagal91 — Muhyiddin Cabinet should heed the signal from Pahang Istana that MPs and SAs have important role to play to bring the Covid-19 pandemic under control and convene Parliament on August 1
Posted by Kit in COVID-19, Parliament on Sunday, 6 June 2021
The Muhyiddin Cabinet should heed the signal from the Pahang Istana that Members of Parliament and State Assembly persons have an Important role to play to bring the Covid-19 pandemic under control.
It is the most powerful repudiation of the very self-serving view that Parliament should not be reconvened unless the country achieves herd immunity against Covid-19, especially in a situation where no one authority, whether the Prime Minister,
Muhyiddin Yassin or the Minister co-ordinating vaccines, Khairy Jamaluddin dare to make public their time-line for the country achieving herd immunity. Read the rest of this entry »

Sarawak Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri James Jemut Masing said his younger brother Jantai Masing, 68, who died due to Covid-19 at the Kapit Hospital on May 31, just a day before the Dayaks in the state ushered in the Gawai celebration, would have a better chance to survive Covid-19 if he had been given the vaccine.

#kerajaangagal89 — Re-strategise national vaccination rollout with common touches to bring vaccines to the people in rural and remote areas while in urban areas, set up more vaccination centres and make them convenient and people-friendly
Posted by Kit in COVID-19, Parliament on Saturday, 5 June 2021
Every day is bad news on the Covid-19 pandemic front, whether the shocking data showing while the world and most countries are turning a corner in the pandemic, Malaysia is one exception surging for record daily increases of new Covid-19 cases and fatalities as well as disproportionate increase of cumulative total for Covid-19 cases and deaths or the kakistocracy of the Malaysian government where public trust and confidence in its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic keeps dwindling way.
The national vaccination rollout has become the Achilles’ heel of the Malaysian war against the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Home Minister, Hamzah Zainuddin, thought he is very clever and has come up with an idea where the Malaysian Parliament will not be able to meet at all.
He said that Parliament will only sit after the country achieves herd immunity against the Covid-19 virus and said calls for the government to reconvene the Dewan Rakyat before the immunisation objective would only “spark more infection clusters”. Read the rest of this entry »

Does the Parliament Speaker Azhar Harun still need to be convinced that the emergency declared on January 11, 2021 is a colossal failure to combat the 17-month Covid-19 pandemic?
Does he still need to be convinced that one reason for the emergency being such a colossal failure to combat the Covid-19 pandemic is because of the suspension of Parliament which removed the important constitutional safeguard of parliamentary scrutiny and “check-and-balance” to ensure Executive competence, efficiency and good governance?

#kerajaangagal79 — Convene Parliament to evoke the Dunkirk Spirit among Malaysians to unite and prevail over the Covid-19 crisis
Posted by Kit in COVID-19, Health, Parliament on Sunday, 30 May 2021
The lament of the Health Director-General Noor Hisham Abdulalh that there is heavy traffic out of Klang Valley before the total lockdown on Tuesday despite the inter-district travel ban and the fear that the health system is facing paralysis is part of a larger problem — the inability of the Muhyiddin government to restore public trust and confidence and the failure to have a “whole-of-society” strategy and approach in the 17-month war against Covid-19 pandemic.
We have not been able to evoke the “Dunkirk spirit”, the nation’s ability to come together with courage and resourcefulness to get through a crisis, because the government has become a kakistocracy and the government leaders do not inspire the people with trust and confidence.
