Now is the time for the opposition to step forward and prove to the people that they are really committed to helping them and not merely out for political gain.

We have heard them time and again criticising the government and claiming there have been insufficient efforts to curb the spread of Covid-19.

Now is the chance for them to step up, take the olive branch from Muhyiddin Yassin and play their roles to help the people.

I completely agree with DAP’s Tony Pua and Ong Kian Ming that this is the time to put all differences aside and the people first.

A man in need is not going to bother who or which political party renders him assistance – all that matters at this point is that he gets help.

Pakatan Harapan was very quick to reject Muhyiddin’s offer which goes to show that they did not even give it serious consideration.

They are bent upon Muhyiddin resigning, but what benefit is this going bring anyone? Muhyiddin has clearly stated that the next GE will be held by July 2022, which is just a couple of months away.

The current administration is already in the midst of battling this pandemic and with the added resources from the opposition, it would surely benefit the people.

This is not the time for the opposition to prolong their bickering, but to join forces and help the nation.

Let us forget the likes of Umno who are merely there for their personal interests. What the two clowns in Umno are fighting for is merely to stay out of jail, nothing else.

We as voters need help and it is we who are going to decide on the next administration.

If the opposition is really sincere about helping us, then this is their chance. Muhyiddin has kicked the ball to your side and the nation is watching what you, the opposition, will do next.
