Gov't exploiting Covid-19 to avoid parliamentary scrutiny, says Kit Siang

Iskandar Puteri MP Lim Kit Siang feels that with its Multimedia Super-Corridor background and aspirations towards a technologically-driven society, Malaysia should be one of the first countries to have virtual parliamentary meetings.

That it is not happening, he claimed in a statement today, is because the PN government wants to exploit the Covid-19 pandemic to bypass parliamentary oversight and scrutiny.
