If Bolehland Goes For A Lockdown Partial Or Not Do It Correctly

Hardly 24 hours had passed after Moo's backdoor government announced a restricted movement thingy, there is already alot of confusion.

The police went back on the requirement to obtain permission for interstate movement.

Didn't they think out a mechanism beforehand how that could be done without huge crowds thronging police stations and leading to the kind of large crowds that would only exacerbate the spread of Covid 19?

How about the initial call for students to return to their homes since schools and colleges and all learning institutions are to be closed and then telling them to stay put in their dorms when the exodus had already began?

And in the midst of all the uncertainties, have we forgotten  that though restricted movement thingy might help prevent the spread of Covid 19 if done properly, we should not forget to speed up contact tracing because that is crucial as to whether we are able to eventually and effectively contain its spread?

Are we up to the task of contact tracing? and quarantining those who have come in contact with those already infected

What is concerning is that the number of people infected has shot up from a low 20 something to about 700 as of today, following a mass religious event where it was said a number of those attending had been infected and had spread to others.

The more reasons contact tracing should be given priority in the midst of the restricted movement thingy to help trace those who might have contact with those already infected from attending the mass religious event.

Kluang was a sleepy hollow, but is fast becoming a bustling town. You can't miss the bust-shaped gunung Lambak lording over the place and the town is well known for its tv brand coffee powder

Kluang RailCoffee
The Kluang railway station coffee shop, now re-branded Kluang RailCoffee, is well known for its cuppa of coffee and the charcaol grilled piping hot buns oozing with butter and kaya...It used to attract standing-room only crowds. It still does, but the last time I was there it wasn't a good experience for me. The famous coffee had somewhat lost its oomph and even the buns...The shop has a long and noted history being first opened for business in 1938 and the place is now run by the 3rd generation LIm family. I hope the next time I return, the coffee would regain its oomph. Click to read more...
