and then put maybe 1 opposition member merely as a window dressing, as it completely defeats the purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On top of that, all info and data must be made transparent to all in the committee so that proper and informed decision can be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parameters must be clear to define the effectiveness of the approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All decisions must be driven by data &amp; science, and NOT political considerations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fact of the matter, this committee should not be formed just to advice YDPA on this matter, but take next step further to advice Putrajaya on its approach to Covid-19 as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have since beginning called for an Expert Covid-19 Consultative Taskforce consisting or specialist from both public &amp;
