Insight - Let’s set our differences aside


Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz: " I believe the NRP is our best hope yet – and currently our most viable multi-voice solution – in exiting this pandemic."

OFT-TIMES, in the face of adversity and crisis, the most Malaysian thing to do is put our differences aside and work together to overcome them. This is most apparent during natural disasters, or monsoon floods.

Other examples include past financial crises, as well as the severe acute respiratory syndrome and Japanese encephalitis health crises, to name a few.

Our beloved country is still in a health and economic crisis. Many countries, including Malaysia, who had successfully contained the virus before are currently seeing a spike in cases due to the Delta and Lambda variants, which are more lethal and infectious than earlier versions. Yes, there may be much reason for many of us to be angry and play the blame game. But, the omnipresent threat of the virus ill affords us such luxury.
