KUALA LUMPUR: A former deputy Health director-general has lambasted Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin over a publicity stunt that put many people at risk of Covid-19 infection, while wasting public funds. "And look at the crowd, the publicity blast is already putting many people at risk. A video posted on Zuraida's Twitter also showed workers wearing full protective gear spraying buildings, roofs, ground and roads. "Even if those road surfaces are contaminated, how could it get to your face, people scrubbing their hands on the contaminated road surfaces and touching their face?" Dr Lokman said the public places that needed cleaning and sanitising are surfaces that are frequently touched by people.
