Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the public needed immediate assistance as they were faced with a difficult and complicated situation and could not wait for the Parliament sitting which began today. “The main problem we faced was the question of managing and tackling COVID-19 and generally, the public knew in this difficult and complicated situation, the government had no choice. In fact, I myself felt that immediate action had to be taken even though the Parliament sitting had not begun,” he said. Muhyiddin was replying to a supplementary question from opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (PH-Port Dickson) on why members of Parliament were not given the opportunity to have an open debate on the large allocations announced by the government including in the recovery of the country’s economy post COVID-19. https://www.mof.gov.my/en/news/press-citations/government-had-to-take-immediate-action-to-tackle-covid-19-muhyiddin 1/3 4/15/2021 Government had to take immediate action to tackle COVID-19 – Muhyiddin The Prime Minister said he understands the duties of Members of Parliament who had a responsibility to bring up the question of national expenditure, but the government had a duty to look after the people who were facing difficulties.

Corona Virus Prime Minister’s Special Mes- sage on Covid-19. Mission and Consular Engage- ment. MFA’s Emergency Services. Many more... 1 FOREWORD “Ola a todos (Hello everyone)”, The only highlight for this issue was the visit to the state of Mato Grosso Do Sul by ASEAN Ambassadors and other members of the ASEAN Committee in Brasil- ia (ACB) in February. As Covid-19 started to hit Brazil, Brazil close its land borders and airspace to oth- er countries. Mask wearing was made mandatory in most of the states, while peo- ple are still allowed to travel internally for essential purposes. Over the past months, the Covid-19 outbreak has literally forced all the diplomatic activities in Brasilia to come to a halt. There is no more business as usual for Mis- sion since the beginning of March although Mission is still functioning. Mission continues to provide consular assistance and travel advice to Malaysians in Brazil, Guyana and Suriname through online services as well as in-office ap- pointments. Apart from following closely the pandemic development in the country, Mission also works in concerted effort with the Task Force back home to coordinate ac- tions in support of making arrangements for Malaysians stranded in foreign countries all over the world to return to Malaysia safely. Together with our other Missions in the region, we played a constructive role in offering timely assistance to Malaysians stranded in Argentina and Bolivia to return home on 22 March and 20 April respectively.
