Yesterday was the worst day for Malaysia in the 17-month Covid-19 pandemic, crashing through the 2,000-mark for Covid-19 fatalities and bringing forward the day when the half-million mark for cumulative total of Covid-19 cases will be reached by May 22 while United States, the worst nation with the most Covid-19 cases and fatalities, declared it was winning the “war against the virus”.

Why is the United States “winning the war against Covid-19” while we in Malaysia are losing the war?

#kerajaangagal51 – Malaysia will be faced with two problems with a slow and tardy national vaccination rollout but the first problem in the war against Covid-19 pandemic is whether the Muhyiddin government can restore public trust and confidence in its leadership

(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)

Something is very wrong with Malaysia’s strategy in the war against Covid-19 pandemic.

Firstly, for the seventh consecutive day, Malaysia has a higher daily increase of new Covid-19 cases than in Indonesia, with Malaysia recording 4,865 cases yesterday as compared to Indonesia’s 4,185 cases. For the past one week, Malaysia’s total cumulative cases increased by 30,982 cases while that of Indonesia increased by 24,637 cases.

The time has come for a total overhaul of the strategy to fight the war against the Covid-19 pandemic as the old strategy used for the past 16 months has failed resulting in Malaysia becoming one of the worst performing nations even worse than the United States.

For the past six days, Malaysia has a higher daily increase of new Covid-19 cases than Indonesia, as illustrated by the following: Read the rest of this entry »

#kerajaangagal47 – As Sarawak is allowed to procure its own Covid-19 vaccine, the Federal Government should end its monopoly on vaccine procurement and allow the various State Governments to procure their own Covid-19 vaccines to give free to the people as Malaysia is in a race against time fighting the critical battle of ‘vaccine vs virus’ to accelerate the national vaccination roll-out

(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)

One of the top priority strategies in the war against Covid-19 pandemic must be to accelerate the national vaccination rollout in Malaysia which is too slow and tardy, especially as various Covid-19 variants had injected a new urgency into the whole Covid-19 scenario.

The new coronavirus is a moving target.

#kerajaangagal46 – Muhyiddin should require all his Ministers in his bloated Cabinet to see Muntoh Fong’s video to understand the people’s disappointment and anger at the government’s failure to care for the elderly in the Covid-19 pandemic

The Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin should require all his Ministers in his bloated Cabinet to see Muntoh Fong’s video to understand the people’s disappointment and anger at the government’s failure to care for the elderly in the Covid-19 pandemic.

I saw Muntoh Fong’s video and it is clear that there is no answer to his charges of government failure and irresponsibility in the National Vaccination Campaign.

#kerajaangagal45 – Opposition prepared to form a parliamentary united front with the PN government in the war against Covid-19 pandemic – convene Parliament, no “no-confidence” motion and spearhead a “whole-of-society” national mobilisation to restore Malaysia to normalcy

This month of May is likely to be the deadliest month of the Covid-19 pandemic in Malaysia.

In the last four days which recorded daily increase of over 4,000 new Covid-19 cases, there had been 144 fatalities. In the half-month of May alone, there had been 360 fatalities which was the same number of fatalities registered in February 2021, which recorded the highest monthly toll since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in January last year. (On Feb. 1 there was a cumulative total of 770 deaths which increased to 1,130 deaths on Feb. 28.)

#kerajaangagal41 – With the third Covid wave in Malaysia becoming more serious with deadly variants and low vaccination rates, what guarantee is there that Hari Raya Aidilfitri next year will not be a third consecutive year where balik kampong will be banned?

#kerajaangagal40 – When will Muhyiddin announce a multi-billion ringgit MCO 3.0 economic stimulus package for the poor and vulnerable groups in Malaysia?

The Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin made a last-minute decision on Tuesday to impose MCO 3.0 nation-wide from May 12 to June 7, 2021 and in the hurry and flurry, he announced it without the benefit of a live telecast as was his wont last year when he wanted to make important announcements.

However, the government failed to follow through the MCO 3.0 decision with a multi-billion ringgit MCO 3.0 economic stimulus plan for the poor and vulnerable groups in the country.

#kerajaangagal39 – Yesterday’s daily increase of 4,765 new Covid-19 cases and an all-time high of 39 deaths is latest proof that the emergency is a failure to bring the nine-month long third Covid-19 wave in Malaysia under control and Malaysia is fighting a losing battle against Covid-19 pandemic with deadly variants

Yesterday’s daily increase of 4,765 new Covid-19 cases and an all-time high of 39 deaths is latest proof that the emergency is a failure to bring the nine-month long third Covid-19 wave in Malaysia under control and that Malaysia is fighting a losing battle against Covid-19 pandemic with deadly variants.

It also validates the warning by the Indonesian government to Indonesians citing Malaysia in the same breath as India as countries which Indonesia should not emulate and to stay home and to take precautions on Covid-19 in the Hari Raya Aidilfitri holidays.

#kerajaangagal38 – Hadi should come to his senses instead of becoming a new champion of a failed emergency to combat the Covid-19 pandemic

Why has the PAS President, Hadi Awang, emerged as a new champion of a failed emergency to combat the Covid-19 pandemic?

He appeared not to have minded that Malaysia had tumbled in international performance in handling the Covid-19 pandemic, to an extent that the Indonesian government had cited Malaysia in the same breath as India in its warning to Indonesians to stay home and to take precautions on Covid-19 in the forthcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri holidays.

I find it most shocking the spectacle of a leader of a political party in government coalition who appears to relish the downgrading of Malaysia’s international status, lower than Indonesia, a country which Malaysia had always prided as superior in terms of public health competence, services and infrastructure development.

Don’t forget the Covid-19 SOPs of 3Cs and 3Ws

(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)

Even as all Malaysians celebrate Hari Raya with our Muslim brothers and sisters, I would like to remind all Malaysians not to let their guard down.

That invisible covid 19 virus is still very much all around us. Please maintain physical distancing at all times even as we enjoy socialising. Mask up whenever in doors and do wash when we contact surfaces which may have been contaminated. Always remember that indoors with aircon recycled air is always a potential danger and outdoors, with fresh air and a nice breeze is always safe and safer. Please also observe the SOPs which is to help us to avoid the spread of the virus.

I believe that we Malaysians are used to all these measures by now, but please do not relax and let our guard down. We have to bring the new cases level down to double digits and later to single digits. Read the rest of this entry »

#kerajaangagal35 – The flurried manner of the announcement of a national MCO 3.0 late yesterday evening less than a month after the Prime Minister promised no more nationwide restrictions is living proof that the Muhyiddin government has become a kakistocracy

The flurried manner of the announcement of a national MCO 3.0 late yesterday evening less than a month after the Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin promised no more nationwide restrictions is living proof that the Muhyiddin government has become a kakistocracy

There was no time to arrange for a live telecast by the Prime Minister, which must be a blessing in disguise as Muhyiddin cannot be unaware of the huge deficit in public trust and confidence in government’s decisions and announcements, particularly relating to Covid-19 pandemic.

#kerajaangagal34 – Parliament Speaker must uphold the rights of patriotic MPs in the various Parliamentary Committees to meet especially where it impinges on the Covid-19 pandemic, even if the MPs have to sacrifice their parliamentary allowances denied by the backdoor Muhyiddin government

(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)

The backdoor, incompetent, undemocratic and illegitimate Muhyiddin government has made a mess of things in handling the Covid-19 pandemic, adding to the sufferings and hardships of Malaysians, regardless of race, religion or region.

It has come to a stage where Indonesia, hitherto regarded as behind Malaysia in public health development and infrastructure, is urging its citizens to stay home and take precautions on Covid-19 in the forthcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri holidays, with the warning: “Learn from India and Malaysia, for surely we don’t want Indonesia to face the same problem.”

How shameful it is for Malaysians. Read the rest of this entry »
