Khairy ended his first full month as Health Minister beating the world’s top 18 countries having the most cumulative total of Covid-19 cases in “Cases in the last 7 days/1milion population” and all the world’s top 19 countries in “Deaths in the last 7 days/1million population”

We were yesterday in the world’s Top Ten countries in daily new Covid-19 cases and daily Covid-19 deaths.
During the one month and two days of Khairy as Health Minister, there had been 10,249 Covid-19 deaths, including 2,724 Brought-in-Dead (BID) Covid-19 deaths.
This is just not good enough and I reiterate my call on Khairy to explain the question of abnormally high Covid-19 death rate in Malaysia, what is being done to reduce the high rate of Covid-19 deaths as well as to reduce the daily BID figures to single-digit numbers.
