The Covid-19 battle is everyone’s responsibility


LIKE most Malaysians, I keep tabs on the number of new Covid-19 cases daily and the breakdown according to states. I live in Selangor so I am very concerned that my state has been topping the charts for weeks now. However, numbers have also been rising in all states, leading to a nationwide movement control order (except in Sarawak) beginning today.

Human nature being what it is, the finger-pointing and blame game has become more rampant, not only among politicians but also the rakyat. But to me, it’s simple: Battling Covid-19 is everyone’s responsibility and we can overcome the virus only if every one plays his/her part.
