MCO 3.0 EXTENDED

 Full Movement Control Order (MCO 3.0) or total lockdown for Malaysians which should end on 14 June 2021. Continued for another 2 weeks until 28 June 2021.The addition of the MCO 3.0 period is because the data shows that the number of daily infections of Malaysians is still at 3 digits. Although the value of the infectious rate is declining.

I understand why the government extended the MCO 3.0 period. But does the government understand what Malaysians in the low -income group face ?. The group of policy makers, namely the government, must have a higher income compared to the group that must comply with the policy made. Although the period continues until the value of the single -digit infection figure, the group of policymakers is certainly not affected. Most affected are of course the gardeners, farmers, night market or farmers market traders and the laborers who earn an income on a daily basis.

I hope when the government announces the extension of the MCO 3.0 period. The government also announced an additional assistance package for low -income people. Is the implementation of the previous emergency, can be considered a failure ?. Then Parliament should be held because there may be a new way of helping people face the challenges of the pandemic at the moment.

To me, at this point any debate or explanation on this pandemic issue. It is very inappropriate because it is not able to help people who need help. I admit that there is basic food aid from local political leaders but is it really enough ?. At the same time the schooling sessions continue online and it involves costs in terms of devices and internet facilities. Who will provide it or spend money to pay for internet services ?.

Most unfortunate when there is a situation of sectors that should be closed during MCO 3.0, given permission to operate while sectors that should be allowed otherwise. Strange isn't it ?. I’m sure the people know just can’t afford to voice their feelings because of the circumstances that make whatever happens, the bottom stays below and the top stays on top.
