Proposed national operations council will not replace the government, says Dr M

PETALING JAYA: The proposed national operations council (NOC) will not replace the government and will only be tasked to reduce Covid-19 cases until herd immunity is achieved, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (pic).

In a blog post on Saturday (June 12), the former prime minister said that the NOC would not be placed under the government and report directly to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to oversee issues related to the economy, finance, education and Covid-19.
