Mat Sabu Says Malaysia Has Become A Strange Country Because Laws Change At The Whim Of Govt

With Malaysia’s trend of ever-changing SOPs and often times new legislation and regulations, President of Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) Mohamad Sabu recently said that Malaysia has become the strangest country in the world.

 

According to Astro Awani, during a Parliamentary session, Mat Sabu stated that this was because the law changed according to the whims of the government and not according to the rules.

“Strange things are happening in modern Malaysia.”

“It is strange that in the past, MPs could not enter Parliament, it is strange that during emergencies, Covid-19 infections were highest at 24,000, hundreds died a day and the peak reached 300 a day,” he said in the Dewan Rakyat today (25 October).

Mat Sabu stated, “what is even stranger is about the election in Melaka.”

“Melaka in Phase Four (National Rehabilitation Plan). Full restaurants, full malls, weddings can be made and lectures can be made. (But) talks are not allowed, campaigning is not allowed, (going) to houses is not allowed,” he explained.

 

This comes as the Health Ministry had recently announced a ban on political gatherings during Melaka’s upcoming state elections.

Commenting on the same issue, Kulim-Bandar Bharu MP Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail claimed that the country had been forced to hold elections in Melaka.

“We are forced to hold elections. Which we did not ask for but will be held with very strict standard operating procedures (SOP).”

“Because you can’t walk. Walkabouts are not allowed, group talks are not allowed and public talks are not allowed, ” he said.
