Mentri Besar handles Covid-19 issues in Perak, says state health exco


IPOH: The Mentri Besar has been speaking on Covid-19 issues as the state's task force is headed by him, says Perak health committee chairman Mohd Akmal Kamaruddin.

“This is the structure used in all other states as well, and that is the reason the Mentri Besar is speaking on behalf of the Health (exco). Matters related to Covid-19 or vaccinations will be answered by the Mentri Besar, so this is not something to be shocked about,” he said.
