“I must ask the government to be more responsible in the matter, with detailed planning. The contradictions between agencies and ministries must be addressed,” Anwar said in a Facebook Live broadcast. “For example, the large numbers of people gathering at police stations concerned about the interstate travel permit, only to be told it was cancelled, then later brought back and given new conditions.
“There are some among the rakyat who are not yet convinced that social distancing among one another is crucial in saving themselves, their families, society and the nation,” he said.
