Virus war: Rising to the occasion


(From right) Tun Sardon Foundation board member Datuk Tan Gin Soon (right) and secretary Andrew Koay handing over protective gear wear and face masks to medical frontliners at Penang Hospital. With them (from left) are Penang Hospital deputy director Dr Nur Asyura Muhammad and head of pharmacy department Atisha Abdul Hanif.

As the country declares yet another extension of the movement control order (MCO) till May 12, the northern states of Penang, Kedah and Perlis are heading towards being classified as green zones. While frontliners work hard in the Covid-19 battle at the risk of their own lives, law-abiding Malaysians do their part by staying at home with some going all out to support frontliners or help fellow citizens in distress.
