A struggle for normalcy


It has been a while since my last column. I have been preoccupied with my work after the transition from the movement control order (MCO) to the conditional MCO. There was so much left-over from before the MCO that had to be completed when the conditional MCO was implemented.

Like most Malaysians, the MCO hit me hard as well. But, I also realised early on that not having the MCO was too scary even to contemplate.
