Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah responds to queries on whether his ministry had advised the government not to hold parliamentary meetings. FMTNews Covid19 HealthMinistry Parliament
PUTRAJAYA: Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah today said his ministry only advises the government on the Covid-19 situation in the country, following questions over the brevity of the one-day Parliament meeting to be held on May 18.
Speaking at his daily briefing here, he said the ministry’s advice was based on facts and data such as the transmission rate of infections and whether the number of cases is on the rise. “That’s our role. Other than that, it is beyond the health ministry to advise on policy matters and so on.” DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang had asked earlier today if the health ministry had advised against the holding of parliamentary meetings in light of the Covid-19 situation.
