RM1000 compound notices were issued to 95 individuals so far, for disobeying the MCO nationwide. That's just in about 24 hours period. Amazing feat. 👏🏾🤣#StayHome #DudukRumah

It was reported that some MPs, renowned persons were automatically given Bantuan Prihatin Nasional (BPN). LHDN confirmed that recipients are determined based on matching of income & tax data (BSH & 2018 tax records). So, how are these individuals be eligible recipients?

Best move is for them to return the payment, voluntary back to LHDN. Much appreciated for the B40s esp.

Finally, I can "visit" all the #RamadanBazaars around the country soon, since many are going online. First of its kind in mass mode. Hope delivery services can keep up!

While the craze (& time limitations) are real, let's hope too for some guidelines & policies of conduct for retailers. Must protect consumers too, despite being an e-bazaar.

And I'm hoping the 3 bazaar concepts for KL wont happen as it's a definite anti #SocialDistancing.

As a result of Work From Home (WFH) or even Stay At Home order by our government, it is expected for personal or home Internet connectivity to be used for tele-commuting. You no longer just tap your cubicle neighbour's window or desk to ask question (or even chit chat) - now, it's all via the Internet. By the way, why aren't the employers subsidising Internet at home for work purposes?

The question everyone is asking - "Will MCO be extended?"
Many cannot wait for the MCO to end. It has caused hardship especially the business community - as business revenue suffers since many regular customers are now working from home - and (equally) hardship for those staying at home for too long - boredom, cannot sit still, need to get out for some air, not used to this new normal!

The Academy of Medicine of Malaysia makes a very valid point!#COVID19Malaysia #MovementControlOrder #PerintahKawalanPergerakan https://t.co/sxoiV7tB1M
