Cut out the double standards in enforcing MCO
Before the movement control order was enforced, two of his sisters, who are octogenarians, came over to spend several days with him and were subsequently not allowed to return to their homes because of the ban on interstate travel.
The lecture was firm and in a high tone, warning them that they would be arrested if they did not turn back and return alone. The two elderly folks returned home without buying anything, neither did they come out alone later. Some have been locked up like common criminals for simply buying food, attending prayers and funerals, playing golf, attending parties; all of which are usual, everyday activities allowed in a normal, vibrant and democratic society.
Should the law not hold him to higher account? Should he not resign for letting down his own health workers and his ministry? The senior minister, in his daily press conference telecast live, gives updates on how many have flouted the MCO. He keeps warning Malaysians not to break the MCO or face the music.The Covid-19 figures are improving and it would seem that we are winning most of the battles at the frontline, although sporadic new fronts keep popping up. That is the new worry.
