KOTA SAMARAHAN: Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin (
pix) said the government is spending a lot to combat the Covid-19 pandemic because it is important to save lives and the national economy.
The prime minister said the pandemic was very challenging because it posed a threat to people’s lives and battered the economy, forcing the government to spend huge amounts of money to buy medicines, ensure enough hospital beds and increase the number of doctors and nurses.
“We are doing this because saving every life matters. The government has already spent RM7 billion to RM8 billion to overcome the Covid-19 problem, and this figure does not include the money for buying vaccines,” he said at a meet-the-people session at the Institute of Teachers Education (IPG) Tun Abdul Razak Campus here, today.
