Covid-19: Malaysian teen in quarantine hails govt, frontliners for ‘insane level of efficiency’

Shacind Ananthan, a first-year Economic student in the United Kingdom, shared in his Facebook posting about his journey back home, which began in the UK and ended at the Impiana KLCC Hotel, where he and 73 others are currently under quarantine. “A recurring theme you’d find is that at every checkpoint, there were at least one or two who did their job so diligently that there was no hold-up, making the process very smooth. It felt as if this was an extremely well thought-out procedure that has been going on for years,” said Shacind, who is from Johor.
“I overheard people praying that it would be to a five-star hotel in KL. However dire the circumstances, the innate Malaysian tendency to always expect luxury never fades, does it? “Before we got off the bus, a man in Paskau uniform briefed us on the next course of action. Upon reaching the hotel, dozens of people in full Hazmat suits were standing by a long table for screening and registering purposes,” he said.
“Why am I writing this? This is a primary account of someone who has experienced the plight of leaving a foreign country overnight with an uncertain future. This is to counter the fake narratives online that seek to defame our great nation.
