PETALING JAYA: All foreign workers are now required to undergo Covid-19 testing, which employers will pay for, says Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
He said this was decided after the rise of Covid-19 cases in the country over the past few days, the majority comprising foreign workers.

The Washington Post, citing two people with knowledge of internal discussions, reported yesterday that some officials had discussed the idea of cancelling some of the massive US debt held by China as a way to strike at Beijing for perceived shortfalls in its candidness on the Covid-19 pandemic.

Trump’s top economic adviser denied the report. “The full faith and credit of US debt obligations is sacrosanct. Period. Full stop,” White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow told Reuters.

Asked whether he would consider having the United States stop payment of its debt obligations as a way to punish Beijing,

So, 4D game already opened or not?

Whoever never own the shares for some time hard to understand its psyche. Dont just read a book by it's cover. I've been holding this counter for some time. It's inability to generously pay dividend does not imply lack of integrity, or poor of ethics. Mulpha has too much in its plates actually due to aggressive growth, expansion in AU, NZ. From property in AU, it expand further into ON LINE lending platform, and ON LINE education platform. This give lots of pressure on its balance sheet, bit over-geared. Hold tight. Many like dividend shares, ok can opt for Protasco. Then, you'll understand what i'm saying.
To quote Warren Buffet: “If you aren’t thinking about owning a stock for 10 years, don’t even think about owning it for 10 minutes.”

Settle myr1trillion govt. debts first before we talk about humantarian concern.

Sunway professor must be professor kangkung. we cut off the chain of virus infection together with the supply chain as well causing food price increase. Many Vegetable from Cameron, etc. not able to send to end customer, just thrown away. This logistics hurdle cause all food price increase due to short supply. if MCO extended further, many poor will suicide with no income

Instead of focusing on how to add value to its company, can a director keep trading, buy sell, buy sell own shares? S/C must look at this fellow CEO William Hon why? he become share trader already full time ma....not fit to be director then. wakaka

Unless US is the ist in the world to come up with vaccine for covid-19, no way this President with disfectant as solution will be elected again. China may come up with vaccine by Sept, 2020 and mass market by next yr

Bloated civil servants size is not new problem, it's long pending with no PM ever dared to catch bull by the horns with drastic reform. Except health officers' dept., who over-worked- others mostly hei hei. no comment. wakaka

With virus pandemic, many VIP prefer private flying instead of sharing with others

AAX still can survive by changing business model. from long haul, budget to chartering private VIP use.Some assets sold back to Airasia short haul. Then, MAS also survive with less competition in long haul premium use.

haloe....many at essential industry never stop working from day 1 till now...i'm one of them.

To be fair, govt. should just let whoever got screening, or tested negative flying...whoever not tested, banned them go overseas....i guess this way AAX will survive....

Why cant we engage strong, healthy army officers to help exhausted health officers doing mass testing? why army waste time harassing whoever floating MCO only. extended lockdown is a waste of time unless something being done i.e mass testing.

Problem is we die die waiting for S. korea test kit, said more reliable than chinaman's one. But, due to logistic+ high demand- this is delayed now when we're in a race against the time. By the time S. korea kits arrive, all died. wakaka

we're damn too slow in doing mass testing. extended lockdown brings economy destruction but many carriers still undetected. SIN no. looks worse than MY but in fact beat MY 9696 in this area. 2.5month lockdown is ridiculous with many not tested

we're damn too slow in doing mass testing. extended lockdown brings economy destruction but many carriers still undetected. SIN no. looks worse than MY but in fact beat MY 9696 in this area. 2.5month lockdown is ridiculous with many not tested

This means MY lower new cases record look like better than SIN but in fact many illegal foreign hidings, not going thru testing yet. extended lockdown further means nothing unless all mass testing done like SIN, S. Korea, AU.... It's still too early for us to celebrate success in this war. we're going to DAMN SLOW, I C B C in testing all citizens including illegal.

"Furthermore, the reality could be that Malaysia may not be able to lower detected new infection rates in the coming weeks, given that mass testing has not been made. As at April 23, only 117,406 tests had been done, amounting to only less than 0.4% of the population. Many of the infected population clusters contained foreign workers, and foreign workers inclusive of the illegal represent about 20% of the country’s population. this is UOB scary prediction of so many not tested despite of so many days lockdown

I prefer renamed as NexGem. sounds unvaluable. wakaka

China must be idiot if still sending medical supply to lunatic, phycopath USA blaming your savior. all worldwide need the supply. Why must be American first? China should priotise Asia first as our Asia TAIKO. Let the west enemy died. wakaka

Sewage is SAI KONG main business....but it still sleeping at job? Covid 19 virus allegedly spread via sewarage system as well.

CORONAVIRUS | Malaysian researchers are studying if traces of the Covid-19 virus found in the sewerage system may be used to detect infections in communities, particularly those who do not show any symptoms (asymptomatic cases).
Virologist Associate Prof Dr Nazlina Ibrahim told Bernama the most vital aspect of the study would be to check the viral content of the sewage in any particular area in order to identify communities with Covid-19 positive cases but have yet to be screened.
“Sewage samples from the sewerage system in potential high-risk areas can be taken to monitor the presence of Covid-19 virus. The findings will help the Ministry of Health to identify infected locations and carry out health screenings for the residents there,” said Nazlina, who is a senior lecturer at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s Faculty of Science and Technology.
On March 28, Environment and Water Minister Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man had said that his ministry would conduct a comprehensive study to find out if the Covid-19 virus – Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 or Sars-CoV-2 – can live and reproduce in the public sewerage system.

MAS to fly soon with new SOP ***quote***All Malaysia Airlines passengers are now required to bring and wear their own protective masks effective April 23, at touch-points such as check-in, boarding, in the aircraft cabin, disembarkation and collection of baggage on arrival to mitigate the spread of Covid-19.
This requirement applies to all passengers (excluding infant) travelling on all Malaysia Airlines’ domestic, international and charter flights, to ensure the comfort and wellbeing of each passenger and airline employee, it said in a statement today.
Malaysia Airlines will not accept passengers without a face mask at the time of check-in and boarding, it stressed.

Jane Goodall spot on the root cause of covid-19 worldwide infection

Goodall: It is our disregard for nature and our disrespect of the animals we should share the planet with that has caused this pandemic, that was predicted long ago

I like the last statement the most:- The team also believed that the MCO compliance level could be improved when Malaysians are empowered with adequate and timely information about the importance of the MCO. - BERNAMA

yes-agreed with senior Lim this time....all 24 red zones still need to be under lockdown...the rest, just let go but with conditions, SOP imposed. if to wait till vaccine come up next 12-16 months- i guess all died from hunger, not virus anymore

Human being pay a huge price for economic development. we aim for material gains at the expense of cleaner air to breathe every day by cutting too many green jungles. so, karma hits back with virus spread with no green jungle to absord all dirty air

Unless gomen think we can live without 2 million legal, illegal Indon workers- just let them have one way ticket. Otherwise, we must stop mass exodus, entry post Raya

Yes + No. Let local economy prosper & freedom to move during holy month of Ramadam. In/Out overseas in particular to new time bomb, Indonesia must still lockdown. Indonesia to peak in July only....Apr-July is 2nd wave critical period. if gomen not cautius

great article, last statement is spot on, carry highest weight-quote:-
Unfortunately, Ramadan is just around the corner. Will Malaysia allow the 1 million legal and 1 million illegal Indonesians and other foreign workers to go back for Ramadan. Do we have the resources to check, test/quarantine them when they come back. What about illegal channels of entry? Will we have another wave after Ramadan?

Even if all american wiped out, its own Karma selecting moron President. What our gomen should worried is 2nd wave peak locally imported from both Philippines/ Indonesia in particular to Sabah/ Sarawak.....we're quite lenient on migrants from these 2 neighbours

they suffer quite a lot. their sacrifice is huge by staying at home, watching astro lei. wakaka

Tested positive must be isolated for treatment. i guess human being phobia of social isolation causing many avoid go for test even if its free
