Ministers now would only have to serve three days of quarantine, which attracted massive backlash from Malaysians as they felt that Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba was practising double standards.
And now, another new ruling has added fuel to Malaysians’ raging fire.
Private planes for ministers

According to the Malay Mail, a new SOP from the Foreign Ministry shared by the Health Ministry indicates that government officials on official trips must use a private plane to avoid a ‘travel bubble’.
Upon arrival at the foreign airport, ministers must again be tested for COVID-19, with only those testing negative allowed to continue their journey.
Ministers will also not be allowed to move around once arriving at their destination country and must be confined to their rooms unless for official reasons.
Malaysians are not happy at all
This new ruling has not only attracted the attention of the rakyat, but also the attention of our hardworking frontliners.Some felt dissatisfied with the double standards treatment given to ministers.
DUA DARJAT

Salam, yang amat saya hormati Dato Sri @DrAdhamBaba.
Dengan merendah diri, saya amat berharap agar Dato Sri boleh membuat keputusan hanya berdasarkan fakta sains. With power, comes great responsibility. My wish is that you focus on what is most important to us. pic.twitter.com/133xfRj47E
That's it. The Rakyat's tax money will be spent unnecessary for this private planes arrangement. This govt is becoming reckless in this pandemic era of management. God help us the people, on what this govt can continue to do and implement during this emergency period.

Where's the accountability for using private planes? Will it be less cost on Rakyat? What am I saying?? Less cost to rakyat? What?? Tax payers be damned. I fly coach, my MPs fly private jets. Lovely. Aren't I the fool for paying my taxes?

But why was he the one who went on live and explained? It’s Adham Baba’s decision, if there’s any confusion, he should asnwer it.

Adham Baba ni jarang muka dia keluar news time Covid ni. Tapi setiap kali muka dia keluar, selalu bagi decision yg buat kau rasa nak terajang TV atau baling phone kat dinding.

Bodoh tak terperi keputusan2 dia. Buat malu KKM je lah.
Do you think the government will announce another new ‘special’ SOP for our ministers soon?
