COVID-19 Global Pandemic - HOW A LOCKDOWN IN MALAYSIA SHOW PEOPLE'S TRUE COLOURS!

Hey Everyone,

I've always been wondering what would the world be like when 2020 strikes in. Why 2020? Because in Malaysia, back when I was in primary school, 8-9 years of age in 1997/1998? The current prime minister was always pressing hard about Malaysia being a developed country in 2020. I was waiting for 22 years praying that I would still be alive to be able to experience what Malaysia will be like in the year 2020. With all those art competition where kids back then was imagining flying cars, launch pad, flying house and etc. Instead of those happening, freakin' deadly virus spread throughout the world. 

Malaysia's Prime Minister has decided on a lockdown starting 18th March 2020. Like, my birthday was on the 22nd of March and bloody hell what a way to celebrate my birthday.... at home..... with the cats.... watching netflix and chill. LOL

The lockdown started on the 28th of March 2020 and was supposed to end on the 31st of March 2020. However, the Lockdown then extended from 31st of March 2020 to the 14th of April 2020. A month worth of staying at home. Today is the 3rd week of the stay at home movement. Although deeply I wanted the lockdown to end on the 14th of April 2020, but seeing how new cases and death's in Malaysia keeps on rising, It is hard to lift this up. Social distancing, I think not many will follow. Even during this movement control that we are currently practicing in Malaysia, there are still citizens who do not practice social distancing. Thus the quick spread of the deadly virus.

The government has been introducing all sort of help to the citizens. One important aspect that I would like to acknowledge is the introduction of the 6 month temporary moratorium repayment for both cars and house loan. This would actually help alot of malaysian's in saving up money in times of dire needs that we are currently facing. Monetary help is also being introduced to those whose financial income is not sufficient to help them in times like these.

Albeit all of the help, there are still several citizens of Malaysia, yang masih tidak puas hati especially some of the celebrities. Like Bitch stop complaining! You are rich in your own rights! You have millions in your bank accounts and yet you dare ask the government to help provide financial help eventhough you people don't pay taxes?! And yet you people demand financial help from the government whose money they used to provide financial relief comes from the taxes that the citizens pay monthly? FUCK YOU!!!

Why don't you sell your Rolex watch? Your TAG Heuer Watch? Your Many Cars that you own? Your expensive handbags and etc so that you can actually help yourself in this times of dire needs.  You people boast soy much in instagram with your large houses, your many cars, your many trips to overseas, your shopping and yet now you say that you don't have any money? When you were paid alot before this pandemic happened DON'T YOU PEOPLE KNOW WHAT SAVING MEANS?? Padan muka Boros macam babi.

During this lockdown, I finally get to see and observe the Citizens of Malaysia's behavior. They shine bright light a diamond! There are those who are responsible by staying at home and only going out to buy groceries or going to the doctors. There are also selfish people. There are also stupid people. There are also stubborn people. And to top it all of, there are also people who are completely ignorant and oblivious about the situation. 

Since the movement control operation (MCO) will end 14th of April 2020, I hope schools are still closed until there are zero COVID-19 cases in Malaysia. You can't expect kids to maintain social distancing, wash their hands and not play together while maintaining a 1 meter gap from each other. Come on la! be realistic. The schools does not have the capacity to monitor and manage all of them at once! 

But the lockdown does in fact effect other people's job. In times of these, we all need to BERUSAHA and attempt to find any means to get help. It is hard, no one said that this would be easy. Dugaan ini cabaran dari Allah. Allah will not give you all these hardship that is well outside your capabilities. Help is always there when you need. For example, my ex office kakak cleaner's income all depend on her services to clean the office. But when the lockdown happened, she stops getting income and she can't support her family. She is a single mother. She can't go back to Indonesia because all flights overseas from Malaysia has stopped. She seeks help from the staff, and of course each of us chipped in money based on our capabilities. Some generously gave RM150, Some gave RM30, Some gave RM20 and etc. At least the total amount that was collected was enough to provide her at least 1-2 months of survival. By which time hopefully the situation gets better after that. That is in term of financial aid. In terms of food, neighbors still help provide essential food needs. In times like these, not only do we help ourselves, but to help other people as well.

Lastly, I do hope and pray that this pandemic will stop soon. The world is entering the recession phase since many country have temporarily stopped operating. For all the country affected by this Pandemic, it might take time to heal, but as long as its citizens are alive and thriving to move forward, the world can overcome this hardship.

Till then, Stay Tuned.
