Preparing for a long haul


Datuk Seri, the lockdown has now been extended with the second phase of the National Recovery Plan being launched within two weeks. What are your thoughts?We now move into an enhanced movement control order after the National Security Council decided to put a blanket plan on nearly the whole of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur from July 3.

It comes as no surprise to me as we have noticed previous efforts have not had the desired effect, to tame the Covid-19 beast, with cases hovering around the 5,000 to 6,000 mark. After a month living under lockdown, we have only managed to reduce cases from the national record total of 9,020 on May 29 by about 33%.
