Reflections of life under lockdown

MANY of us would have seen reassuring messages during our enforced stay at home during the movement control order (MCO) period. We are reminded to be thankful for being given the opportunity to spend time with our family members and also encouraged to do things at home that we never had the time for because of our busy schedule.

Nonetheless, this luxury of time that has suddenly come our way is somewhat of a curse to some people. Those whom I have spoken to say they are bored and feel as if they are in a vacuum. In most cases, they feel that their freedom has been snatched away from them.
