The country needs a temporary government that is transparent and trustworthy in handling the Covid-19 pandemic and political crisis, said former finance minister II Johari Abdul Ghani.

In an interview with Utusan Malaysia, the Umno leader proposed that the temporary administration be given a time frame for it to bring Malaysia out of the crisis, and it should be led by someone with experience and strong leadership traits.

This can be achieved by uniting all political parties, he added.
