The light at the end of the Covid-19 pandemic tunnel is getting brighter but we must remain vigilant in view of the advent of omnicron variant of Covid-19 virus

The light at the end of the Covid-19 pandemic tunnel is getting brighter but we must remain vigilant in view of the omnicron variant of Covid-19 virus – to adhere to mask wearing, to use good ventilation and to avoid close contact with too many people and to get vaccinated or get booster shots.
Yesterday, we recorded 4,087 daily new Covid-19 cases – the lowest in 197 days – the strongest indication that we can look forward to breaching the 4,000-line to go below 4,000 daily new Covid-19 cases after struggling for six weeks in the 4,500 – 6,500 cases region for daily new cases, and even to return to pre-Emergency days of January 11, 2021 when we had 2,232 daily new Covid-19 cases and four Covid-19 deaths.

Some good news at last on the Covid-19 pandemic front on the last day of Ismail Sabri’s first hundred days – lowest daily new Covid-19 cases since May 16 and second lowest daily Covid-19 deaths in six months
Posted by Kit in COVID-19, Ismail Sabri on Monday, 29 November 2021
After 99 days of depressing, gloomy or at best “not bad news”, it is great to have some good news at last on the Covid-19 pandemic front on the last day of Ismail Sabri’s first hundred days as the ninth Prime Minister of Malaysia.
Yesterday, Malaysia recorded 4,239 daily new Covid-19 cases, the lowest in 196 days since May 16, and 29 daily Covid-19 deaths – second lowest in over six months.
I had hoped that at least by the first 100 Days of Ismail Sabri as the ninth Prime Minister of Malaysia, we can at least undo the damage of the proclamation of emergency by the Muhyiddin Yassin Government on January 11, 2021, when we had 2,232 daily new Covid-19 cases and four Covid-19 deaths, with the cumulative totals of 138,224 Covid-19 cases and 555 Covid-19 deaths.

There is widespread misunderstanding of the CSR MOU that it meant DAP and PH now support the racialist, one-sided and divisive 2022 Budget when this is not the case
Posted by Kit in COVID-19, CSRA, Ismail Sabri on Sunday, 28 November 2021
There is widespread misunderstanding of the confidence-supply-reform (CSR) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that it meant that DAP and Pakatan Harapan (PH) now support the racialist, one-sided and divisive 2022 Budget when this is not the case.
DAP and Pakatan Harapan leaders and MPs will continue to oppose the racism, injustices and discrimination of the 2022 budget, which does not reflect the “Keluarga Malaysia” concept advocated by Ismail Sabri. Read the rest of this entry »
Some fallacies about the Malacca general election result of Nov. 20
Posted by Kit in Corruption, COVID-19, Elections on Thursday, 25 November 2021
There are many fallacies about the outcome of the Malacca general election of November 20, 2021.
Firstly, that it was a landslide victory of UMNO and Barisan Nasional, when it was landslide victory of seats but not of votes – as although the BN won two-thirds majority of the state assembly seats, it won only an infinitesimal increase of 0.55 per cent of the 2018 votes cast to secure 38.39% of the votes in the Malacca general election last Saturday.

Najib is hoping that he can sneak in and become the 10th Malaysian Prime Minister in the 15 GE without the question becoming the focal issue of the country

Najib Razak is hoping that he can sneak in and become the 10th Malaysian Prime Minister in the 15 General Election without the question become the focal issue of the country.
If Najib succeeds, Malaysia will again become the laughing stock of the world, in particular in Indonesia which had been catching up on Malaysia in the fight against corruption in the last two decades. Read the rest of this entry »
Malaysia has lost out to China and now losing out to India and Indonesia in handling the Covid-19 pandemic – how low will Malaysia go?
Posted by Kit in COVID-19, Malaysian Dream on Saturday, 20 November 2021
I am fortified in my call yesterday to the Malacca voters to represent Malaysians to vote against both the Perikatan Nasional (PN) and Barisan Nasional (BN) candidates for the loss of nearly 30,000 lives (with more than 6,000 Brought-in-Dead Covid-19 deaths) and nearly 2.6 million Covid-19 cases because we are left far behind by other countries in the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Yesterday, we recorded 6,355 new Covid-19 cases and 45 Covid-19 deaths (including seven BID deaths), losing out to India which recorded 5,883 daily new Covid-19 cases and losing out to Indonesia which beat Malaysia by recording five (5) daily single-digit Covid-19 deaths!

Call on Malacca voters to represent Malaysians to vote against PN and BN tomorrow for the loss of nearly 30,000 lives and nearly 2.6 million Covid-19 cases as well as for Malaysia having the longest Covid-19 wave in the world
Tomorrow is Polling Day for the voters of Malacca for the Malacca general election.
I call on Malacca voters to represent Malaysia to vote against both the Perikatan Nasional (PN) and Barisan Nasional (BN) for the loss of nearly 30,000 lives, nearly 6,000 Brought-in-Dead covid-19 deaths and nearly 2.6 million Covid-19 cases, as well as for Malaysia having the longest Covid-19 wave in the world lasting over 14 months since the Sabah state general in September last year.

Call on Malacca voters to vote against PN and BN candidates because in the last 10 days, Indonesia averages 7.2% of the daily new Covid-19 cases of Malaysia when Indonesia has more than eight times the population of Malaysia
Yesterday, Malaysia recorded 6,280 daily new Covid-19 cases and 68 Covid-19 deaths, still a great distance from the day Emergency was proclaimed to combat the Covid-19 pandemic, as the daily Covid-19 statistics on January 11, 2021 when emergency was declared were 2,232 daily new Covid-19 cases and four Covid-19 deaths.
This means we have still a long way to go to end the third Covid-19 wave in Malaysia, rampaging for 14 months since September last year – the longest Covid-19 wave in the world since September last year. Read the rest of this entry »
Will Malacca general election polling day on Saturday 20th November see daily new Covid-19 cases and Covid-19 deaths in Malaysia return to pre-emergency days of January 11, 2021 of less than 2,232 cases and four deaths or will it have more Covid-19 cases and deaths than Nomination Day on 8th November?
In another three days is the Malacca general election – a general election which the DAP and the Pakatan Harapan do not want but will have far-reaching implications and consequences for the political future not only Malacca, but of Malaysia.
One question Malaysians want to know is whether the Malacca general election on Polling Day on Saturday, 20th November 2021 will see daily new Covid-19 cases and Covid-19 deaths return to the pre-emergency days on January 11, 2021 of less than 2,232 cases and four deaths or will there be more daily Covid-19 cases and Covid-19 deaths than Nomination Day on 8th November?
Let Malacca general election be the start of a new journey for Malaysia to become a world-class great nation by 2050
We are now close to the finishing line for the Malacca general election on Saturday, November 20, 2021.
There are only four days left before Malacca voters cast their vote in a general election they do not want, but which will have a far-reaching effect on the future of Malaysia – determining whether the Malaysian Dream could be realised in 2050 to become a world-class great nation, instead of continuing to lose out to one nation after another like in the past half-a-century.

Malacca general election seeing two contrasting phenomenon: daily Covid-19 cases and deaths rising in Malaysia since nomination day in Malacca on Nov. 8 while Election Commission over-zealous in banning all forms of physical campaigning
The Health Minister, Khairy Jamaluddin has urged Malaysians to remain vigilant as the Covid-19 national infectivity rate climbed to the highest level since August.
We are seeing two contrasting phenomenon in the Malacca general election – daily Covid-19 cases and deaths in Malaysia rising above that on Nomination Day in Malacca on November 8, 2021 while the Election Commission over-zealous in banning all forms of physical campaigning in the general election.

Objection inside Bersatu to Mas Ermieyati’s appointment as Malacca Chief Minister is the Bersatu time-bomb in Malacca
Posted by Kit in COVID-19, DAP, Muhyiddin Yassin, PH Government on Saturday, 13 November 2021
Malaysians must be startled by Muhyiddin Yassin’ spate of confessions in the last two days as a renegade in the 22-month Pakatan Harapan government, in particular his statement that he is not like Mahathir Mohamad and that Perikatan Nasional (PN) won’t lie to the people.
It would appear that the main conspirator in the Sheraton Move conspiracy which toppled a democratically-elected Pakatan Harapan government after 22 months, and ushered in two backdoor, undemocratic and illegitimate governments was not Azmin Ali but Muhyiddin Yassin. Read the rest of this entry »
Will the Ismail Sabri government end up as a “kerajaan gagal” like the Muhyiddin government, unable to win the war against the Covid-19 pandemic
The Covid-19 pandemic statistics in Malaysia are again getting grim, with the Health Director-General Noor Hisham Abdullah warning that the domestic Covid-19 situation may worsen yet again.
Yesterday, there were 6,517 daily new Covid-19 cases, bringing the cumulative infections to 2,535,338 cases, the highest in 21 days since October 22. Read the rest of this entry »
Call on Malacca voters to look at the Covid-19 statistics in Malaysia when they cast their vote for the Malacca general election
I want to make a straightforward call today – to ask the Malacca voters to look at the Covid-19 statistics for Malaysia when they cast their vote for the Malacca general election on November 20, 2021.
The reason is simple: The Covid-19 pandemic, not only in Malacca but in Malaysia, affects every aspect of our life in the country – the economy, the job situation, schools and universities, travel, the private space of Malaysians whether in sports, recreation, social or family life.

Can the Agenda Nasional Malaysia Sihat (ANMS) succeed when the government is not prepared to admit that Malaysia has become one of the worst performing nations in the world in the Covid-19 pandemic?
The Prime Minister Ismail Sabri today launched the Agenda Nasional Malaysia Sihat (ANMS) to help the Malaysian Family face and cope with the endemic phase of Covid-19 pandemic by cultivating a healthy lifestyle and promoting environmental sustainability.
The ANMS agenda is for a period of 10 years, from 2021 to 2030 and the implementation is to be divided into two terms; the first from 2021 until 2025, and the second from 2026 and will end in 2030.

Despite umpteenth times of talk of “light at the end of the tunnel” since last year, the total ban on any form physical campaigning in Malacca general election shows the light is not there
For umpteenth time since last year, Muhyiddin Yassin had been talking about seeing light at the end of the tunnel in the Covid-19 pandemic – from when he was the eighth Prime Minister of Malaysia to yesterday when he was an ordinary MP in Parliament.
But the “light at the end of the tunnel” proved to be very flickering, and although Malaysia ranks 10th among countries with the highest full Covid-19 inoculation rate, we rank among the world’s top 20th country for the most cumulative total of Covid-19 cases and daily new Covid-19 cases, while having the highest daily Covid-19 death per million people in ASEAN and Asia (the Asian average is 0.31 compared to Malaysia’s 2.38 on November 9, 2021).

Can the voters of Malacca turn the Malacca general election on Nov.20 poll into the first “Malaysians First” election forerunner to the 15th Malaysian General Election?

Last night, I had the first taste of the Malaysia-made Timah Whisky. I also had a first taste of Taiwanese Omar whisky.
Whisky connoisseurs will have their opinion of Timah and Omar whisky but only those who don’t drink can come out with silly or stupid statements like “drinking a Malay woman” or “drinking a Malay man”. Read the rest of this entry »
Its unbelievable – Malaysia not only losing out to Indonesia and Philippines but also to India and China in daily new Covid-19 cases and deaths in battling Covid-19 pandemic!
Its unbelievable – Malaysia not only losing out to Indonesia and Philippines but also to India and China in daily new Covid-19 cases and deaths in battling the Covid-19 pandemic!
Yesterday, Malaysia did a rebound for the second consecutive day, increasing its daily new Covid-19 cases and Covid-19 deaths to 5,403 cases and 78 deaths, as compared to 4,343 daily new Covid-19 cases and 35 deaths two days earlier. Read the rest of this entry »
Election Commission failing its national duty to conduct “free, fair and and clean” Malacca general election with its antediluvian, anachronistic and antiquated election SOPs imposing a virtual ban on physical campaigning
The Election Commission is failing in its national duty to conduct “free, fair and clean” Malacca general election on November 20, 2021 with its antediluvian, anachronistic and antiquated election SOPs imposing a virtual ban on physical campaigning.
Malacca is in Phase 4 of the National Recovery Plan (NRP). Is this the phase for the virtual ban on physical campaigning for elections? If so, when will physical campaigning be allowed? Read the rest of this entry »
Although the exponential increase of Covid-19 cases and deaths in Malaysia have been halted, will Covid-19 pandemic statistics on Ismail Sabri’s First 100 days as ninth Prime Minister of Malaysia on Nov. 28 see cumulative totals of 2.6 million Covid-19 cases and 30,000 Covid-19 deaths?
We have stopped the exponential increase of Covid-19 cases and deaths in Malaysia, although 4,543 Covid-19 cases and 58 Covid-19 deaths recorded yesterday highlights the agonisingly slow rate of such reduction in Malaysia.
We are not only unable to end the longest Covid-19 wave in the world – the third Covid-19 wave continuing for 14 months since the Sabah state general election last year – but we are performing worse than Indonesia and even India in reduction of daily Covid-19 cases and Covid-19 deaths.
