CORONAVIRUS | The two-week movement control order announced by the government last night to reduce the spread of Covid-19 has raised questions as to how this would impact the workforce.
The order, which is to take effect tomorrow, will see all non-essential government and private venues shut down, meaning most offices will be closed.
Ya thks wishingwell. I m executing my complete plan. This is life long investing journey. Of course we need to see the long and ultimate goal, and balance the immediate short to medium term impact.
"What i am looking now is "ARBB Kingdom" building SUPER BRAND, with distinctive competitive edge that not easy ( or no way ) to be duplicated by competitors."

Can Malaysia manufacturers afford to pay 14 days demurrage charge for chartered ships, air cargo, Iso-tanks and containers waiting for cargo loading?The worst is just begin for Malaysia capital market when the PN government forced all non-essential manufacturers to shutdown disregard even those export-oriented E&E sector operate in clean room environment and Palm oil industries where the FFB will rotten on the tree or field and those manufacturers for export market will face huge demurrage charges
Hi the real deal. morning, Special meeting for covid 19 chaired by PM 8 excluded PH states very disappointed...lets hope those states be strong and have sufficient supply to survive the outbreak...karma will hit if any dirty hanky panky trying to disrupt the supply of essential goods to those states...

Manufacturers can continue their operation as long as they can commit containment for their workers by providing lodging and food during this 2 weeks! We certainly don't want our exports to be Affected! Again, the issue here is containment! 2 weeks unpaid leave for this foreign workers will only worsen things as they will roam around and that's not what we want to see!
I remember 10 years ago, my ex company esos shares is at price 0.25, around 1 year, it shoot up to RM0.50. All employee feels so happy and continue hold since we working at that company. After a few years, it shoot up to RM1. 00. All those employee stay to work there for a very long period. 肥水不流外人田!
Dear Revenue Queen, I ask someone it is the right time to buy dividend and growth stock Magni and VS. He replied, “Not yet. Lockdown next 2 weeks, every manufacturer are affected. Appealing to authorities to allow us to continue to operate as we are export orientated working mostly in clean room environment. We have 2,500 workers too.
Holding hands, sharing plates The packed gathering, where guests had to take shuttle buses to sleep at other venues, was attended by nationals from dozens of countries, including Canada, Nigeria, India and Australia, according to an attendee list posted on social media. There were also citizens of China and South Korea – two countries with high rates of coronavirus infections.
Social media posts show hundreds of worshippers praying shoulder-to-shoulder inside the mosque, while some guests posted selfies as they shared food.
Only half of the Malaysian participants who attended have come forward for testing, raising fears that the outbreak from the mosque could be more far-reaching Khuzaifah said some of the worshippers who attended the event have since refused to be tested for coronavirus, preferring to rely on God to protect them.
Karim, a 44-year-old Malaysian who attended the gathering and was later tested positive for coronavirus, says the government should have cancelled the event. “We are a bit disappointed that this outbreak has been blamed entirely on us. That view is unfair. There was no ban on our gathering,” said Karim, who gave only his first name. “Now I am concerned because I am positive. Please pray for me.”

MALAYSIAN equities continued their downward spiral yesterday, with the benchmark index of the country’s 30 largest stocks recording its fifth straight day of losses as the Covid-19 case count keeps rising.
The FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) fell 1.4% or 17.57 points to close at 1,239.01 yesterday, bringing total market capitalisation loss over the last five days to RM109.52 billion. The MSCI AC Asia Pacific Index slipped 0.11%.
Among the main index-linked laggards were Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd, Axiata Group Bhd, CIMB Group Holdings Bhd, Press Metal Aluminium Holdings Bhd, Genting Bhd, Public Bank Bhd and RHB Bank Bhd.
Gainers included Maxis Bhd, IHH Healthcare Bhd, Hong Leong Financial Group Bhd and Petronas Dagangan Bhd.
Maybank Investment Bank Bhd said the gauge could reach an extreme level, making bottom-fishing likely, particularly in banking, plantation, consumer and dividend yield stocks.
On the other hand, BIMB Securities Sdn Bhd believed markets might rebound out of hope, though the worst is yet to come.
“Malaysia recorded its worst one-day outbreak over the weekend, raising the number to 428 — the highest cases among Asean. We think this could impact market sentiment as consumers turned increasingly cautious on spending.
“Secondly, there is little evidence to suggest that the coronavirus outbreak could have reached its peak soon and if this pandemic would end by summer,” it said in a note.
Malaysia reported 117 new Covid-19 cases yesterday, bringing the country’s total to 790, including 60 recoveries and two deaths.
History suggests the impact of an economic shock could be a drawn out affair for financial markets as seen in 2008 to 2009, when the global financial crisis hit, BIMB Securities added.
“The S&P 500 found a bottom at -58% in six months, while the FBM KLCI fell by 47% in 10 months,” it stated.
Malaysia isn’t alone in the bear market territory, though. Global stocks have been roiling in recent days as governments worldwide struggle to contain the Covid-19 pandemic.
Since 2019, or over the last 15 months, the FBM KLCI has lost 26%, sliding from 1,691 to 1,257 points. About 6% of the decline occurred in 2019, while the remaining 20% was lost in the first quarter this year.
Meanwhile, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index has fallen 14% from 966 to 827 points over the same period.
According to AmInvestment Bank Bhd, a silver lining in the seemingly unabated fall in the FBM KLCI is visible.
“Assuming the FBM KLCI is to fall by about another 100 points from the current level to 1,150 points, this will bring the FBM KLCI in line with the MSCI EM Index’s 10-year (2010-2019) average price-earnings ratio of 13.3 times.
“This will put Malaysia back onto the radar of international emerging-markets fund managers, who currently generally feel less excited about Malaysia due to its high valuations,” the research house said.
Oil also slumped to the lowest in nearly 17 years, with Brent crude touching US$27.85 (RM121.70) per barrel as at press time.
“Both Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate continue wilting as the ongoing price war and the exponential increase in countries closing borders crushed any rebound hopes.
“Producers and refiners are now madly scrambling to find onshore and offshore storage facilities for the upcoming weave of oil that nobody wants in April,” Oanda Corp Asia-Pacific senior market analyst Jeffrey Halley wrote in a note yesterday.
That alone, according to Halley, will keep a lid on prices, even without the demand shock from the Covid-19 pandemic.
With latest jump, Malaysia now has fourth highest number of Covid-19 cases in Asia
PETALING JAYA: Malaysia now has the fourth highest number of Covid-19 cases in Asia behind China, Iran and South Korea.
This follows the latest jump in the number of new cases in Malaysia, with 110 new cases reported on Thursday (March 19) bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 900.
Japan, in comparison, has 889 cases as at 4.30pm Thursday, according to an online dashboard created by the Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering.
China still leads with 81,139 cases, Iran is second with 17,361 and South Korea with 8,565 cases.
Malaysia seeks 2,000 Rohingya men for Covid-19 checks, say sources
KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters): Malaysian authorities are scrambling to track down about 2,000 Rohingya men who attended a religious gathering that has led to a big spike in Covid-19 cases across South-East Asia, a security source and two other people told Reuters.
More than 100,000 Rohingya live in Malaysia after fleeing from Myanmar, but they are considered illegal immigrants. Their status would likely make many of them reluctant to identify themselves to get tested for the virus even if they showed symptoms, other sources, in the Rohingya community, said.
Malaysia's search for the Rohingya highlights the challenge for governments trying to track the virus among communities living without official papers and wary of authorities.
The religious gathering late last month at a mosque on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur was attended by some 16,000 people, including the Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar, one source said.
As well as the Rohingya, about 1,500 Muslims from across Asia attended.
Nearly 600 Covid-19 cases in South-East Asia have been linked to the gathering, including 513 in Malaysia, 61 in Brunei, 22 in Cambodia, at least five in Singapore and two in Thailand.
Malaysia has 790 virus cases in all.
Malaysian authorities have been tracking down the participants but say they have been unable to find about 4,000 of them.
"They have gone back to their families across Malaysia, it has become difficult for us to contact them. Many are afraid of admitting that they attended, they fear they will get into problems with the authorities," one of the sources, who works with the refugee community, said.
"The government is concerned that if they don't come forward, the infection might spread further."
The government had asked the police criminal investigation division to look for the missing participants, the security source said.
Police declined to comment and directed queries to the Malaysian National Security Council under the Prime Minister's Office. It could not immediately be reached for comment.
Malaysia implemented travel curbs and shut down non-essential businesses from Wednesday (March 18) for two weeks to contain the virus after the spike in cases linked to the mosque gathering. One person who attended the gathering died from Covid-19, the disease caused by the virus, this week.
Participants spent most of their time crowded into the mosque for the four-day event, but some went to restaurants, shopping malls and Kuala Lumpur's landmark Petronas twin towers, according to Reuters interviews with people who attended and social media posts.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Malaysia told Reuters it had heard that refugees and asylum-seekers were at the gathering and it was working with the Ministry of Health to ensure that all refugee and asylum-seeking communities were included in government response measures.
"Refugees and asylum-seekers are advised to seek medical attention if they present symptoms of Covid-19 infection, regardless of whether they were present at events like the mentioned religious gathering," UNHCR Malaysia said in an email.
The Ministry of Health did not respond to requests for comment.
A 39-year Rohingya father of four, who lives in Penang, said he spent days at the mosque event with nearly two dozen Rohingya friends. He said none of them was showing any symptoms and he went to a hospital but no test was done.
"Everything's fine, no fever nothing," the construction worker said. Reuters is withholding his name to protect his identity.
Salman, a Bangladeshi construction worker who lives near the mosque, said he and many other Bangladeshis went to the gathering. His virus test was negative but the hospital calls him daily to check if he has symptoms, Salman said.
"When I went for testing, they didn’t ask for passport or work permit or any documents. They just asked for my name, age and address," said Salman, who declined to give his full name.
Malaysia on Thursday said it could deploy its armed forces to fully implement movement controls placed to stem the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Malaysian Defense Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said using the armed forces to prevent the spread of the virus "was among the suggestions raised at the special meeting on COVID-19 on non-health related matters," local daily The Star reported.
"I hope that this will not be necessary but if the compliance rate remains low, there is a big possibility that the military will be used [to get people to stay at home]," Yakoob told reporters.
Malaysia recently imposed the measures, known as the Movement Control Order (MCO), on Wednesday to run until the end of the month. It includes a ban on non-essential workplaces and urges people to stay at home.
Yaakob cited police figures showing a roughly 60% public compliance rate with the MCO precautions.
Malaysia has reported 790 cases of COVID-19. Two people have died of the disease, with nearly 60 others recovering.
Malaysian officials announced they had traced over 10,000 attendees of a mass religious gathering held last month amid the global COVID-19 pandemic, according to the daily Malay Mail.
10,000-person prayer gathering
Urging participants of the gathering to apply for medical tests, Health Director-General Datuk Dr. Noor Hisham Abdullah said one of the participants died on Wednesday.
Noor Hisham added that 10,650 such people were traced.
"Up until midnight March 19, 2020 [March 18, 2020, 1600GMT], 10,553 of the tabligh [Islam preaching] congregants that attended the gathering at Masjid Jamek Seri Petaling have been checked, 4,986 samples taken and 513 positives," he said on Twitter.
Since first being detected in Wuhan, China in December, the novel coronavirus has claimed 8,810 lives globally, most in China, according to global data maintained by Johns Hopkins University (JHU).
At least 218,823 cases of the virus have been confirmed in at least 158 countries and territories, with Europe as the new epicenter of the pandemic, according to the World Health Organization.
Despite the rising number of cases, most people who get infected suffer mild symptoms and recover.
Two Malaysians in top 50 list for US$1m Global Teacher Prize 2020
KUALA LUMPUR, March 20 — Two Malaysians are among this year’s top 50 world contenders for the Global Teacher Prize award, a competition meant to recognise exceptional educators who have made outstanding contributions to the profession.
The first was English teacher Samuel Isaiah from Sekolah Kebangsaan Runchang in Muadzam Shah, Pahang, who was shortlisted for his outstanding work with the Orang Asli community by championing advanced learning at primary school using tablets and computers.
Isaiah’s method is fairly unique in a rural Orang Asli setting, said Varkey Foundation, the organisation behind the award.
It noted the children at the primary school have learned to love, embrace and use technology and experience English language learning on par with urban schools.
The other, Science teacher Norhailmi Abdul Mutalib from SMK Jerlun, Ayer Hitam, Kedah, made the list for his innovative method in teaching particle physics.
His teaching approach has included empowering his students to decide the direction of their learning and enabling them to produce creative content online through blog writing and video-making, Varkey Foundation said.
Norhailmi had also used collaboration techniques and flipped classrooms to increase students’ performance throughout the year.
The percentage of his students who scored A in science exams increased drastically from only 3.9 per cent in 2015 to 29.85 per cent in 2017 and the percentage of students passing the science subject at his school rose to 96 per cent last year, the organisation added.
“Congratulations to Samuel Isaiah and Norhailmi Abdul Mutalib for reaching the final 50. I hope their stories inspire those looking to enter the teaching profession and highlights the incredible work teachers do all over the world every day,” said Sunny Varkey, the founder.
“Our recent Global Teacher Status Index finally gives academic proof to something that we’ve always instinctively known: the link between the status of teachers in society and the performance of children in school.
“Now we can say beyond doubt that respecting teachers isn’t only an important moral duty — it’s essential for a country’s educational outcomes.”
The Global Teacher Prize Academy, the committee that determines the winner, includes prominent names such as Wendy Kopp, co-founder and CEO of Teach for All and Dean and Professor, Harvard Graduate School of Education, United States; Fareed Zakaria.
A prize committee will pick the top 10 finalists from the 50 shortlisted teachers and a winner will then be chosen by the Global Teacher Prize Academy.
The prize committee and the academy will look for evidence that applicants for the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize had met several criteria.
This includes having employed creative and effective education methods that may be universally replicable, achieving demonstrable student learning outcomes in the classroom and having tangible impact on the community.
The winner will take home US$1 million (RM4.2 million).
