Ex-deputy Health DG slams minister over disinfection ‘publicity stunt’


KUALA LUMPUR: A former deputy Health director-general has lambasted Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin over a publicity stunt that put many people at risk of Covid-19 infection, while wasting public funds.

Datuk Dr Lokman Hakim Sulaiman raised the concern after Zuraida was seen donning a full protective gear surrounded by other personnel in a wet market in Jalan Othman in Petaling Jaya for the public disinfection operation on Monday (March 30).
