Has the Perikatan Nasional (PN)&nbsp;cabinet declared their assets or not. Yes or no? There\u2019s no need to overly react. As the Prime Minister said, there\u2019s no need to \u2018turn here, turn there\u2019,\u201d he said in a statement on 14 April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, he stressed that the focus to assist the rakyat who are needy during the Covid-19 outbreak could not possibly be stopped in its tracks simply because he raised the question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFighting the war against Covid-19 is our shared responsibility regardless of whether it\u2019s the government, the opposition, or even all Malaysians in various fields. Insya-Allah no one would lose their focus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is no need for us to beat our chests as if we\u2019re the only ones doing a service helping those in need out there,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a statement dated 13 April, Sheikh brought up Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin\u2019s promise on 11 March that his cabinet would declare their assets within a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this has stirred displeasure amongst PN supporters. Amongst them is comedian Shahrol Shiro who has allegedly accused Sheikh of prioritizing political issues while the nation is struggling to contain the spread of Covid-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheikh who is also Johor\u2019s DAPSY Chief, added that it was most unfortunate that the PN government failed to answer a question so simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGoing back to my question, it is most naive if the government today can lose their focus simply because of the \u2018yes\u2019 or \u2018no\u2019 question I threw at them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMore than one month has passed now. So, this is the question that I\u2019m asking. It is most unfortunate if a question as simple as this cannot even be answered,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supporters of Perikatan Nasional (PN) need not be so reactionary and evasive when the question of cabinet members promising to declare their assets after one month of Putrajaya rule is raised.
