Avoiding Covid-19 tsunami in Malaysia: Health D-G suggests no elections during Emergency in lessons from India, school holiday until end-May

Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah speaks during his daily press conference on Covid-19 in Putrajaya February 9, 2021. — Picture by Hari AnggaraKUALA LUMPUR, May 8 — Malaysia could avoid facing a “tsunami” of Covid-19 cases by learning from India’s experience by not holding any elections for now including in Sarawak, and by barring interstate and inter-district travel, Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said today.

Another recommendation was to avoid mass gatherings, including by not holding any elections, for now, he said. He said India had also carried out five state elections where there was a lack of physical distancing and wearing of face masks, noting: “We have to learn from India to avoid elections as we have seen in Sabah’s state election , and we worry if we do not use the Emergency Ordinance, the Sarawak state election would have to be held, which is in June.”

Noting that the Pasai cluster was sparked with just one person returning from Johor to Sarawak to attend a family member’s funeral, he suggested that elections may result in infections spreading.

DGHisham with all due respect Sir, can you please suggest strict MCO like MCO 1 to the whole nation for the next one or even 2 months if the government is really2 serious to bring down the curve

Don't equite Malaysia with India. Indian are different species of ignorance and racism.

How about online elections ? With all the safeguards of course.

DGHisham Can suggest a proper MCO? not saying open bazaars during Raya bla bla bla
