The poster series with sexist "tips" from our Women's Development Dept has garnered international attention! 👏🏾
An apology notice had followed suit but it reads as though the Dept don't understand the rakyat at all. How embarrassing.

Malaysians are still taking the #MovementControlOrder #PerintahKawalanPergerakan lightly.
Many silly excuses still given at road blocks.
Many have been arrested for disobeying the order.
Not deterring enough so govt to enforce stricter enforcements.#StayHome #DudukRumah

Ramadhan month is coming and the tradition is always to have Pasar Ramadan or Ramadan Bazaar especially along certain streets in either light commercial zones or residential zones. Very much like a night market but the Ramadhan Bazaar opens in the mid-afternoon until (usually) sunset - when Maghrib prayers are performed.

This year, due to the movement control order (MCO), the government is looking at a virtual Ramadan Bazaar. Now, it is a good option (similar to how e-commerce is done) but will it be the same experience? Ramadhan Bazaar is all about the buzz, the smell of food and the multi-faceted colours of clothes.

Won't be the same but I hope government & online retail, food marketplaces will hold the bazaar online instead.
Virtual Ramadhan Bazaars. Imagine that. It will be fun! We need help our local small businesses too!#GoDigital #GoDigitalFightCorona #Malaysia https://t.co/e5S7v4NSfN

This is not an example of a digital nation, as the government had spoken about. Our NRIC with smart chips ain't that 'smart' through the years and definitely ain't 'smart' this time around. This is the opportunity for the nation to fast track digital adoption and perhaps also accelerate digital transformation in some of our traditional or legacy business or government operations.

It’s time govt look at digitising the nation appropriately once MCO is over. We have smart IDs, remember? Also would hv helped in tracing every recalcitrants easily & swiftly during this #COVID19malaysia #MovementControlOrder #PerintahKawalanPergerakan #DigitalMalaysia https://t.co/La05rU7brl

The world is still pointing fingers at China for the coronavirus outbreak. This world is full of hateful people.
