#kerajaangagal89 — Re-strategise national vaccination rollout with common touches to bring vaccines to the people in rural and remote areas while in urban areas, set up more vaccination centres and make them convenient and people-friendly
Posted by Kit in COVID-19, Parliament on Saturday, 5 June 2021, 5:32 pm
Every day is bad news on the Covid-19 pandemic front, whether the shocking data showing while the world and most countries are turning a corner in the pandemic, Malaysia is one exception surging for record daily increases of new Covid-19 cases and fatalities as well as disproportionate increase of cumulative total for Covid-19 cases and deaths or the kakistocracy of the Malaysian government where public trust and confidence in its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic keeps dwindling way.
The national vaccination rollout has become the Achilles’ heel of the Malaysian war against the Covid-19 pandemic.

Malaysia has today set another record in the worsening Covid19 pandemic!
We burst through the 600,000-mark for cumulative total of Covid-19 cases with 603,122 Covid-19 cases.
Yesterday, we broke through the 3,000-mark for cumulative total for Covid-19 fatalities. Today, the total of people who died of Covid-19 stands at 3,182 fatalities. Read the rest of this entry »
#kerajaangagal87 — Hamzah thought he is very clever and has come up with an idea where the Malaysian Parliament will not be able to meet at all
Posted by Kit in COVID-19, democracy, Parliament on Friday, 4 June 2021, 8:01 pm
The Home Minister, Hamzah Zainuddin, thought he is very clever and has come up with an idea where the Malaysian Parliament will not be able to meet at all.
He said that Parliament will only sit after the country achieves herd immunity against the Covid-19 virus and said calls for the government to reconvene the Dewan Rakyat before the immunisation objective would only “spark more infection clusters”. Read the rest of this entry »

Malaysians are reeling from the Covid-19 caseload and fatalities for the first three days of the “total lockdown”:
| Date | Cases | Fatalities |

It took Malaysia 10 months to reach a cumulative total of 22,957 Covid-19 cases and eleven months to reach cumulative total of 300 Covid-19 fatalities but such a new Covid-19 caseload and fatalities were reached in the last three days alone! Read the rest of this entry »
#kerajaangagal85 — Does the Parliament Speaker Azhar Harun still need to be convinced that the emergency is a colossal failure to combat the 17-month Covid-19 pandemic?

Does the Parliament Speaker Azhar Harun still need to be convinced that the emergency declared on January 11, 2021 is a colossal failure to combat the 17-month Covid-19 pandemic?
Does he still need to be convinced that one reason for the emergency being such a colossal failure to combat the Covid-19 pandemic is because of the suspension of Parliament which removed the important constitutional safeguard of parliamentary scrutiny and “check-and-balance” to ensure Executive competence, efficiency and good governance?

Both Malaysia and the United Kingdom have set new records in the Covid-19 pandemic — a record high of 126 daily Covid-19 deaths in Malaysia yesterday while zero daily death in the United Kingdom on Tuesday, 1st of June — the first day of MCO 3.0 “total lockdown”.

In memory of Leonard Hsing Yin Shean, MP Tanjong Aru 1986-1990

#kerajaangagal83 — How is the NIP to shorten its 22-month programme to achieve herd immunity against Covid-19 to seven or even four months?
(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)
One of the our biggest challenges in the war against the Covid-19 pandemic is how to accelerate the National Immunisation Programme (NIP) and shorten its 22-month programme to achieve herd immunity against Covid-19 to seven or even four months.
For the past few days, both the Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and the Minister co-ordinating the NIP, Khairy Jamaluddin, have been avoiding my question as to what is the latest time-line for Malaysia to achieve herd immunity against Covid-19 under the NIP.

Why is the Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, not practising in Malaysia what he is preaching to the world?
In his address during the closing session of the 74th World Health Assembly held virtually in Geneva, Switzerland, last night, Muhyiddin said the only hope for the world to end the Covid-19 pandemic is to ensure as many people are inoculated as rapidly as possible. Read the rest of this entry »

Finally, the Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has appeared in a live telecast on the eve of the “total lockdown” MCO 3.0 today.
But his live telecast is distinguished more for what it omitted than what it said.

I could not believe my eyes when I checked the world-o-meter table for the Covid-19 cases for each country yesterday.
The United States, which was the world’s worst nation in the Covid-19 pandemic for over a year as to have a cumulative total of over 34 million cases and over 600,000 fatalities, was recording a daily increase of over 100,000 new Covid-19 cases for three months and a daily fatality of over 2,000 deaths also for three long months.
It reached its daily peak of new Covid-19 cases on January 8, 2021 when it registered 304,248 cases and its daily peak of fatalities on 12th January 2021 when it registered 4,482 deaths.
Yesterday, the United States registered a daily increase of 7,750 cases — a drop of 97.5% from its peak of 304,248 cases on January 8, and a daily increase of 124 new

#kerajaangagal79 — Convene Parliament to evoke the Dunkirk Spirit among Malaysians to unite and prevail over the Covid-19 crisis
Posted by Kit in COVID-19, Health, Parliament on Sunday, 30 May 2021, 11:31 am
The lament of the Health Director-General Noor Hisham Abdulalh that there is heavy traffic out of Klang Valley before the total lockdown on Tuesday despite the inter-district travel ban and the fear that the health system is facing paralysis is part of a larger problem — the inability of the Muhyiddin government to restore public trust and confidence and the failure to have a “whole-of-society” strategy and approach in the 17-month war against Covid-19 pandemic.
We have not been able to evoke the “Dunkirk spirit”, the nation’s ability to come together with courage and resourcefulness to get through a crisis, because the government has become a kakistocracy and the government leaders do not inspire the people with trust and confidence.

#kerajaangagal77 — After Tajuddin’s sacking, who will next get sacked for Malaysia’s failure of an emergency in the 17-month war against Covid-19 pandemic compelling a total lockdown of the country?

After Tajuddin Abdul Rahman’s sacking as Prasarana Malaysia Bhd chairman, who will next get sacked for Malaysia’s failure of an emergency in the 17-month war against Covid-19 pandemic compelling a total lockdown of the country?
When Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin was sworn in as Prime Minister on March 1, 2020 after the Sheraton Move conspiracy toppled the democratically-elected Pakatan Harapan government in 22 months, there were 29 Covid-19 cases and zero

#kerajaangagal76 — CITF should consider incentives to accelerate the national vaccination rollout to ensure that vaccination does not become the nation’s Achilles’ Heel in the Covid-19 Pandemic when it is definitely a game-changer although it may not be the silver bullet to end the pandemic
(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)
The public unhappiness, frustration and anger was palpable and tangible in the many MySejahtera technical difficulties faced by the people seeking an appointment to receive Astra Zeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine on Tuesday.
Although the Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF) has apologised for the confusion and technical hitches, it has yet to regain public trust and confidence.
The question is whether the CITF has learnt any lesson from the poor website architecture on Tuesday, as no head is rolling over the technical and system problems of the MySejahtera app. Read the rest of this entry »

I fully endorse the Deputy Speaker, Azalina Othman Said’s reiterated call today for the recovening of Parliament.
I also full endorse her seven-point recommendation on standing operating procedures (SOPs) for Parliament in the war against Covid-19 pandemic, viz:
- To minimise Covid-19 risks: Ensure that all parliamentary staffers are vaccinated including all MPs and senators.
- To minimise unwarranted “drama” in Parliament: No “no confidence” in Parliament during the duration of the Covid-19 pandemic and no early general election unless pandemic is controlled and herd immunity of at least 50 percent is achieved.

#kerajaangagal71 – As Tajuddin will quit when UMNO says so, does this mean that UMNO supreme council does not think Tajuddin’s conduct was insensitive enough and UMNO’s political considerations must prevail?
I am rather intrigued by the statement by the former UMNO leader and Prime Minister who said that Tajuddin Abdul Rahman will apologise for his gaffes and being insensitive at a press conference yesterday on the LRT accident but will resign as Prasarana chairperson “as soon as the Umno supreme council orders all Umno members to let go of their positions at an appropriate time”.
Does this mean that the UMNO supreme council does not think that Tajuddin’s gaffes and insensitivity at his infamous press conference was insensitive enough, and that what was more important were UMNO supreme council’s “political considerations” and UMNO’s political considerations must prevail?
