PETALING JAYA (March 17): Deputy Women and Family Development Minister Siti Zailah Mohd Yusoff has apparently closed down her Twitter account after sparking an uproar over a tweet she had made on COVID-19, Free Malaysia Today (FMT) reported yesterday.

 

According to FMT, the post had read: “The likelihood of dying from the Coronavirus is only 1%, while the possibility of dying at any moment is 100%.

“Let’s renew our faith and fear God, truly death is real and it comes unexpectedly.”

 

FMT is attempting to contact her for a response.

This comes just days after the deputy minister said in an interview with Sinar Harian that flight attendants should wear shariah-compliant uniforms.

FMT said her comments drew the ire of the National Union of Flight Attendants Malaysia, which questioned her priorities in bringing up the question at a time when airline staff face possible job cuts in addition to the COVID-19 outbreak.
