Parliament must reconvene in full, not via a Hybrid sitting, so as to examine and \u2018X-ray\u2019 all the monies spent by PN <\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

Malaysians of all races, religions and creeds have expressed clearly through social media that they have lost trust with this failed Perikatan Nasional (PN) government and that Parliament must reconvene as soon as possible. Furthermore, PN must take responsibility and admit that the State of Emergency has been an utter failure, whereby our country\u2019s Covid-19 response and economic outlook are now even worse than before \u2018darurat\u2019 was proclaimed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the Emergency and suspension of Parliament, PN has exerted its power without transparency or check and balance and has since spent billions of ringgit without Parliament approval. While the intent for such exorbitant expenditure is for the revival of our economy and to cushion the painful effect of the ongoing pandemic, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Ipoh Barat M. Kula Segaran said that the monies spent have not made much of a difference to the rakyat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

Worse, many Malaysians are complaining that the billions spent by PN have not actually reached them.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

In a statement<\/a> released yesterday, Kula stressed,<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

\u201cTo date the PN Government has spent billions and yet people say they don\u2019t see much of a difference.\u201d<\/h4>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

\u201cThe people are complaining that the various monies have not reached them. In any case Parliament and its various committees have full power to examine and X-ray all the monies spent,\u201d<\/h4>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

The MP for Ipoh Barat then urged for the various money bills to be debated immediately in Parliament so that the opposition could air the views of concern of the rakyat so that remedial action can take place. This is now more important than ever given how PN has disastrously failed to steer Malaysia out of economic recession as well as failed to competently handle the Covid-19 pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kula, who is also the former Human Resources Minister further asserted,<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

\u201cMany have lost their jobs, unemployment is all time high at 4.9%, underemployment and youth unemployment is equally disastrous, there is hardly any job creation taking place and many business are failing or have closed and they all need financial help and now there are those from the B40 who are raising the #BenderPutih.\u201d <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Press Statement

The Agong told Dewan Negara and Dewan Rakyat Speakers that the Parliament must sit as soon as possible.

According to the Cambridge Dictionary, this is what that line means; you do it as quickly as you can (https:\/\/t.co\/xVWbfi6bd5<\/a>). pic.twitter.com\/5NT9kJiuQH<\/a><\/p>\u2014 M. Kula Segaran (@mkula) July 1, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote>
