Rafidah: Imposing emergency over Covid-19 like killing rats with bomb


PETALING JAYA: Declaring a state of emergency to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic is like “killing a few rats using a bomb, ” says former Cabinet minister Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz.

Rafidah, who was popularly known as the “Iron Lady” during her cabinet tenure, said the government’s intention to declare a state of emergency was “putting politics before principles, ethics and national interest”.
