MP SPEAKS | I hate to say this but at the rate the government is going, 2021 is going to be very much the same.

If ministers reprimand civil servants who try to get entertainers travelling from a red zone to Sarawak quarantined, then we are doomed.

If mass gatherings to usher in the New Year are more important, then bigger Covid-19 cases will welcome us in 2021.

And what’s with allowing for Thaipusam to go on, when it attracts thousands of devotees? Is this because we are yet to have a temple cluster?

We certainly did way better with adhering to protocols in March and the few months that followed.

But now that we are having four-digit cases every day, it’s perfectly okay to flounder? Especially when those who have tested positive are forced to wait in their homes due to insufficient hospital beds? Are we for real?...
