SHAH ALAM: Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said several plans to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic will be debated in the 14th Selangor State Legislative Assembly, which is scheduled to sit for nine days starting tomorrow.

He said it would be among the topics to be debated apart from the royal address by the Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.

He said the plans were to address the challenges brought by the pandemic and safeguard the state's economic resilience as well as its capability as the country's pillar of strength in its development and progress.

He said this in a video posted on his official Twitter account today.

He also called on all state assemblymen to conduct the debate in an orderly manner and contribute to providing suggestions to the state as well as the federal government in facing the Covid-19 pandemic.

The opening ceremony will take place with strict compliance of standard operating procedures (SOP), to be attended by about 150 people compared to 500 previously. --BERNAMA
