Malaysians were too complacent


I REFER to the report “Sarawak to be only state not under MCO” (The Star, Jan 20; online at bit.ly/star_allmco).

Malaysia successfully controlled the first wave of Covid-19 infections in 2020 within three months of imposing the movement control order. But now we are recording four-digit figures of daily cases. What has caused the resurgence of this virus? The simplest answer: we were too complacent.
