Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad today said his vision of a National Operations Council-style government to tide the country through the Covid-19 pandemic will be scrutinised by Parliament, but cannot be toppled by politicians.

Calling it the Majlis Pemulihan Negara (National Restoration Council), Mahathir said that the council’s job was to work towards herd immunity against Covid-19, solve problems regarding education and fix the economy.
