KUALA LUMPUR: The government and the people should make necessary adjustment to their daily affairs, including those which involved the four key sectors of politics, economy, culture and education, in order to better cope with the persisting Covid-19 pandemic, said Tan Sri TC Goh, the president of the Federation of Chinese Associations Malaysia (Huazong). It is an undeniable fact that we are currently going through an unprecedented tough time of an excruciating pandemic, political chaos, and a freezing economy, he said.
He reiterated that in this extraordinary and challenging time, politicians from both sides of the divide should put aside politics and unite to lead the people to fight the pandemic and for a rapid economic recovery.
