Day 17:
Today's Internet must hv been suffering from exhaustion & congestion throughout MCO.
-Home fibre is crawling... TMspeedtest is reporting 30% faster @unifi speeds vs @NetflixMY https://t.co/Hjnbm7UN3n, @nPerf & @Speedtest. 🤔

-@Celcom & @Maxis 4G/3G network at home slows down too even b4 the big storm in Klang Valley.
Online delivery services for food & groceries, essentials are also congested. No slots for me! Plus they dont really cater to rural areas, do they? I could be underinformed here

SocMed is debating on whether the #MovementControlOrder #PerintahKawalanPergerakan will be extended beyond April 14th, & whether Ramadhan bazaars will go on. Selfish as it seems but I'm sure govt will hv an online version of the bazaar?

A number of our medical frontliners hv been tested positive for #COVID19Malaysia 😰
We should be showing more concern, compassion & care for them, plus the other frontliners too by not thinking of when we will all be able to get out of the house!

Even if the MCO is lifted, crowd control is needed to discourage gatherings and we shouldn't even consider it, at least for this year - as advised by our dearest & most respected DG of Health. 🖖🏾

Have most Malaysians lost their patience when confronting or dealing with our hardworking front-liners? A bunch of ungrateful lot!

Speaking of decency... respecting one another in these difficult times is not a tall order.

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

It's supposedly the final day of #MovementControlOrder #PerintahKawalanGerakan.
Some recalcitrant rakyat are still going about business as normal - intentional or otherwise.
Seems hauling them up isnt working as they dont seem to be afraid of the law.

The nation faces extra 2 weeks of MCO (Phase 2).
This time stricter with even more limited hours of operations for markets, retail, f&b (incl hawkers), public transportation; and even more stringent movement times for the rakyat.#MCO2 #PKP2

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) March 31, 2020

I'm prepared for extension of MCO (thanks to stubborn & inconsiderate ones) but I'm hoping it doesnt happen for the sake of local businesses who will suffer more!
Telcos are "generous" with more free data.
Netflix is reducing quality of its streaming.#StayHome #DudukRumah

Not so keen news for Malaysian Netflix addicts!

Strangely enough, why Malaysia only? Why about the rest of the region? 🤔

This is like bringing the missing experience out there into our homes?
