PUTRAJAYA: “The challenge to strike a fine balance between protecting lives and livelihood” is how Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin described the work that was cut out for the Perikatan Nasional administration over the past year as the country grappled to fight the Covid-19 pandemic.

“These are the keywords that best describe the government’s focus in the past year. In that one year, we faced a major crisis that not only threatened lives but also caused a crisis to the economy that the world had not faced since the 1930s, ” said the Prime Minister, reflecting the year that was since the Perikatan government was formed on March 1 last year.
