From new PM to controversial politicians, rise of student activists to whisky fiasco — who and what made the news in 2021

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 27 — In a year that saw the Covid-19 pandemic worsen, the nation was not spared from continuous political tussles and yet another change of government.

Prior to this, she was constantly criticised by Pakatan Harapan MPs and former ministers for failing to carry out her duty as a minister and speaking up for the people, as well as the delay in the tabling of the Sexual Harassment Bill that has been put on hold for more than a year now. According to organisers, the problem started when the Health Ministry implemented a system in 2016 that offered junior doctors contractual positions after finishing their housemanships — as opposed to full-time positions offered to their predecessors.

The Cabinet also agreed to extend the contractual appointment to a maximum of four years for medical officers and dental officers who are pursuing specialisation studies during the contract period of the first two years.

Most recently, Muhammad Sanusi announced that Kedah would ban all 4D lottery shops in the state by not renewing the business licences issued by local councils in a bid to stamp out social ills.

However, he is no stranger to the government and has held seven Cabinet positions from 2008 to 2018.
