Perikatan Nasional's Pahang chairperson Saifuddin Abdullah has called for a political ceasefire between the BN/PN and the opposition parties to ensure that Malaysia is able to focus on containing the Covid-19 pandemic and reviving the economy.

"I feel that from now until the 15th general election, we need time to calm down and there should be some kind of political ceasefire among the politicians," the foreign minister told a press conference at Wisma Putra today.

"We should have some kind of political ceasefire so that all of us - the government and the opposition - will have some peace of mind for us to focus on our work, dealing with pandemic and to revive the economy," he said.
