Episode: Consider This: Recovery Plan (Part 1) - Signs Of “Build Back Better”?
Description: Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin earlier today announced a national plan to exit the Covid-19 pandemic. The so-called National Recovery Plan is based on three primary indicators to open up the economy & the social sector in four phases. The indicators are: the number of daily Covid-19 cases; ICU bed occupancy rates; vaccination levels. But some are already criticising the plan as not going far enough. Is this what we expected from a proper “recovery” plan? Melisa Idris and Sharaad Kuttan speak to Azrul Mohd Khalib, Chief Executive, Galen Centre for Health and Social Policy.
