In a conference call with Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today, Dr Adham pointed out that by right Malaysia should only be having small clusters of Covid-19 infections if the tabligh gathering at Sri Petaling on February 27 had been prevented. “It happened from February 27 to March 3. It is very big. Until now, we are still unable to stop its spread.“If the tabligh cluster was prevented, there would be no second wave. We may only have small clusters,” he said in the call which was broadcasted live on Zahid’s Facebook page.
The former deputy prime minister also encouraged Adham to appear more in social and conventional media so the people could see him in the frontlines with other senior politicians.
