Day 39:
The police statement of UMNO President's daughter who violated #MovementControlOrder #PerintahKawalanPergerakan had been submitted to the Attorney General. I guess we all know what the jail time & fine amount will be for her careless act.

This whole process with a public figure is not as swift as compared with normal rakyat's. Double standards still exist & will probably continue to.
What about the 2 Dep Ministers, Perak EXCO member & Terengganu Chief Minister? Police statements were taken almost a week ago.

It's sad to read that #Remdesivir tests on patients (a potential drug for Covid-19) had failed. No improvement to patients' condition nor reduction of pathelogen's presence in bloodstream were seen. Info fr a document accidentally published by W.H.O.https://t.co/YzEVPKs9Gc

Day 38:#MovementControlOrder #PerintahKawalanPergerakan violations saga continue!
Today the police recorded a statement from UMNO President's daughter for violating MCO. Y'day we read about a girl who was jailed and fined for delivering a birthday cake to her boyfriend.

Yes, a clear violation of MCO/PKP too. But we are seeing 2 different sets of treatment & legal action taken. Actually only 1 legal action was taken against the girl who is just a normal rakyat. It was almost immediate. The other one is free to go it seems or "forgotten"!
[2/5]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 24, 2020

Also,guess we won't ever hear back on the MCO/PKP violation cases of deputy ministers,chief minister & EXCO member? Police statements hv been recorded but will the rakyat be expecting silence fr the authorities & also our newest government leaders? I have a feeling we will!

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 24, 2020

It's 1st day of Ramadan. For many it is also 1st of the new norm Ramadan tradition. I havent tried the online #RamadanBazaar yet but I surely will, provided my area is covered & vacant slots avail (havent been successful on any online groceries/food since Day 1 of MCO/PKP).

Happy to also hear that students in campuses can now return home to their loved ones, from next Monday and fully escorted (unless self-drive).#StayHome #DudukRumah #StaySafe

Day 37:
PM announced tonight that the #MovementControlOrder #PerintahKawalanGerakan will be extended for another 2 weeks, till May 12th. This will be Phase 4. Possibility of further extension was not ruled out.
However, some loosening up or "kelonggaran" are in order...
[1/3]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 23, 2020

- students will be allowed to return home from campuses
- those stuck in kampungs/elsewhere (before MCO/PKP Ph 1 was implemented) will be allowed to return to city/town where they work (or any desired location).
However, it's a one-way ticket, with approvals from police.
[2/3]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 23, 2020

I hope it's also a mandatory for them to also get officially certified as healthy & free of #COVID19 before before being allowed to travel. Somehow don't think that was announced.

- also longer operation hours for markets & public transportation during Ramadan period. 👏🏾

Interstate travel will be allowed from this Saturday but with police permit. Let's hope no mass exodus on the road when everyone takes as advantage of this.
Our #COVID19Malaysia infections are slowing down & green zones are increasing.

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 22, 2020

We might have a glimmer hope that the loosening up of #MovementControlOrder #PerintahKawalanPergerakan might be in order.
Malaysians shud expect a change in their lifestyle post-MCO/PKP. Question is can most of us manage it?
[2/8]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 22, 2020

Even with current movement control measures (esp in Phase 3), ppl are already impatient & started going out. Evidently from daily traffic jams at road blocks, the daily lepak sessions of the same 6 ppl at the purported food bank at my neighborhood's Rukun Tetangga shack,...
[3/8]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 22, 2020

...and also the shameful acts of Health Dep Minister, Rural Dev Dep Minister, an EXCO member, Terengganu Chief Minister.
Why do our elected reps have the opportunity to give their respective statements to the police, while the public gets arrested and remanded on the spot?
[4/8]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 22, 2020

Sr Minister (Security) mentioned last week that "nobody is above the law".https://t.co/6p2h8GR858
Again, I am wondering about the double standards in our legal system.
It seems MPs (who are to lead by example since they are public figures) can be "above the law",...
[5/8]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 22, 2020

...as currently seen from the leeway by the government. So, naturally the rakyat will follow their great examples! They will not be afraid as the law, to them is deemed #meaninglessness.
[6/8]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 22, 2020

I'm afraid once lifting of MCO/PKP happens, chaos will be in order since authorities are not showing the right & tough authority they have been entrusted to uphold the law (also I quote back SM (Security) who said Phase 3 will be tougher enforcements).#StayHome#DudukRumah
[7/8]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 22, 2020

At the very least the government is handing out payments for those in need on time in full, and also helping out the SMEs and business community. No double standards there, I guess?

Day 35:
We're seeing a gradual downward trend. Let's pray & hope this trend continues so we can hv some loosening up of #MovementControlOrder soon.
However, 946 were arrested y'day for MCO/PKP violations. We havent heard on the same with our Dep Ministers & EXCO member yet.
[1/2]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 21, 2020

The video of a woman yelling at police after being kicked out of a Cheras market for not wearing a mask. Yet police didnt arrest her for verbal abuse & also for pillion riding on a motorbike - a clear violation of MCO. Seems strictness & seriousness of the law is not there.

Day 34:
The #MovementControlOrder #PerintahKawalanPergerakan violation saga with elected reps & Dep Ministers continue... why are they given opportunity to give lame excuses? Sr Minister (Security) did say immediate arrests for violaters & be remanded to court.
[1/6]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 20, 2020

What are the authorities waiting for?
There cant be 2 sets of the law in our country! It's clearly a double standards treatment towards different groups of ppl. Govt & authorities must walk the talk - be sincere, serious & transparent on this. Or all faith & trust is lost.
[2/6]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 20, 2020

If the elected reps are off the hook, then the rakyat will want to take a chance & do the same as well, further to not abide by the MCO/PKP.
Over the weekend, many didn't #StayHome #DudukRumah. Arrests were made at roadblocks & social (drug) parties for MCO/PKP violations.
[3/6]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 20, 2020

These arrests of ordinary people at roadblocks were immediate, without hesitation.
A clear display of unfair treatment compared with the elected reps. When one breaks the law, the right punishment according to the law should be handed down.
Justice is blind after all!
[4/6]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 20, 2020

The MCO/PKP Phase 3 is not being taken seriously. Recently we see more traffic jams, more social gatherings/parties. There is a clear disrespect for the authorities who must not be seen as "weak" or easily manipulated. Tough times require tough punishments for indiscipline.
[5/6]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 20, 2020

Our Police's 'Jam Squad ' is to help alleviate traffic. My opinion is it's not telling rakyat to #StayHome. I read it as traffic will be less so I can go out, hence creating more traffic at road blocks. I'd say leave the jam as is, since nobody is supposed to be out anyway!
[6/6]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 20, 2020

It's a shame our leaders do not walk the talk.
What will it take to get Malaysians to stay still for a bit, with minimal economic losses, minimal stress or boredom and less selfishness (or should that be carefreeness?)

So so true!
I'd like to believe the upcoming SOP for post-#MovementControlOrder will take care of all these. But I've no confidence in its enforcement. Discipline starts from the top & lead by example.
So far, we've not witnessed great disciplines & enforcements, unfortunately! https://t.co/2RaTZ3oKAP

Day 33:
Still a hot topic. Almost a daily one perhaps. Violations of #MovementControlOrder #PerintahKawalanPergerakan. The Perak EXCO member apologised today (for his luncheon with Health Dep Minister and group). That's it! That's it?
[1/5]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 19, 2020

On violations of MCO/PKP, our Senior Minister (Security) had again reiterated that 'Nobody Is Above The Law', incl elected representatives. Should all those involved or "caught red-handed" on soc-med then be remanded & brought to court? They did break the law, after all.
[2/5]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 19, 2020

The govt should act fast on these high-profile violations (that happened during MCO/PKP Phase 3) & be transparent or risked giving rakyat the impression on existence of double standards in the law. If normal rakyat can be hauled up then high-profile folks should be too.
[3/5]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 19, 2020

They are supposed to be good examples for rakyat they represent (whose taxes pay their salaries). #StayHome #DudukRumah

Further embarrassment: our Health Minister had famously "misquoted" facts numerous times - warm water incident, Seri Petaling tabligh date blame game...

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 19, 2020

...and video con with 500 countries of the W.H.O. 🤣🤣
Also there's no conference software for 500 ppl simultaneously nor will 500 ppl agree to a certain time zone.
Quite a feat! Our PM seriously needs to reevaluate his Ministers before the whole cabinet becomes a joke.
