Current Statistics is with Total Infected as at 29 is 558,545 cases and Total Death at 2,650. With these numbers, Authorities reveals the Daily infections will exceed 10,000 very soon, and the country should brace for the worst and it hasn't reach the peak. (Coronavirus World meter)

In a newspaper (Malay Mail) report, the PM revealed that Malaysia has incurred an estimated RM63 billion losses since the Movement Control Order (MCO) came into force on March 18. With an estimated RM2.4 billion daily, another lock-down will be devastating to the Economic impact. It is said that the people's livelihood will be affected, but what is livelihood without life itself; and that is likely why the new announcement of a Full-down from June 1 to June 14 (a 14 days period).

Despite the governments repeat reiterations that there will be enough essential item supply during MCO3.0. It is estimated that there will be Panic buying to hoard essential foods during this weekend before commencement of the planned full lockdown starting June 1 which is next week Tuesday. Many states also began to see the shortages or out of stock for supply of surgical masks, causing prices to skyrocket (thanks for greedy and opportunistic business people).

Malaysia’s health authorities have warned the public to “prepare for the worst” as Covid-19 cases climbed rapidly despite what claimed to be thus far "strict containment measures". Despite the second year of "Banned Balik Kampong" trips; some blamed the recent trends and spikes was caused by the not so legal "Hari Raya Balik Kampong trips" to celebrate the festivities or other ethnicity that took the opportunity to visit their family too during the same period. Others say that the Rakyat should not be blamed because the Authorities and some Politicians did not do their job or even did not show "Good Behavior by example". BUT regardless of the "Blame Game", everything seemed to be already TOO LATE. As can be seen by the recent message from Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah's (Malaysia’s director-general of health), who tweeted this week that the country’s daily infections are “following an exponential trend” and could trigger a “vertical surge.” And the country is now the worst-hit country in Southeast Asia, after Indonesia and the Philippines.

The Malaysian government's plans to vaccinate 80 per cent of its population by the end of this year but so far only about 5 per cent (or less) have received at least one dose. The slow progress of Vaccination can, some say; can be attributed to many "human factor" reasons of which much has been written in the Web. While the "mySejahtera" looks impressive on your phone or computer for Vaccine Registration, but it apparently did not cut time and process, with the slow Vaccine roll-out and administering the essential Jabs. All this, coupled with the healthcare workers have been experiencing not just exhaustion, but depression and fatigue; not to mention the high-risk environment they are subjecting themselves to everyday!  

Incidentally the new June 1-14 Lockdown MCO3.0 is called 

"Survive to restart package"
