Malaysia – According to Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali, a member of the Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) Supreme Council, the people of Johor, particularly those who will vote in the upcoming Johor state election, should consider the Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) track record in administering the country during the Covid-19 pandemic.
One of the PN’s outstanding achievements, he noted, was garnering international reputation as the finest government in the world at managing Covid-19 recovery operations.
“The country was facing a health and economic catastrophe within a short period (due to the pandemic), but PN effectively took the country out of this crisis under the leadership of Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.”
“Malaysia was placed 13th in the Nikkei Covid-19 Recovery Index, up from 115th last year. We need to keep this momentum going, and I’ll leave it to the rakyat (people) to make the best decision in the state election,” he told reporters following a Chinese New Year meal with SMEs leaders here yesterday night.
