His comments come shortly after ongoing uproar on social media with Malaysians conveying their anger at politicians who travelled between Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah in September to campaign for the state elections on 26 September.
As Malaysia broke it’s record for new cases three times since the pandemic began in the first week of October alone, several hashtags have been trending online including #RakyatJagaRakyat , #PoliticiansPuncaVirus, #KlusterMenteri and #SiswaJagaSiswa among others.
Currently, several ministers and high-level government officials are under 14-day home quarantine after being exposed to a Covid-19 positive patient at a 3 October National Security Council Covid-19 meeting in Putrajaya.
Religious Affairs Minister Datuk Dr. Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri was confirmed Covid-19 positive on 5 October. The minister had a travel history to Sabah and was not quarantined upon his return.
