Don’t get so worried because there is light at the end of the tunnel. You can see one coup after another had taken place and the ruling party voted in by the people in the last General Election is usted from power.
Like the general public, I am disgusted for this is not how democracy works. I believe democracy will ultimately be restored through people's power.
In the last general election, I have supported all the political parties in the Pakatan Harapan financially and I have also campaigned for them.
The events of the past ten days might be quite bewildering to many Malaysians. Alliances have been forming and dissolving within hours and contradictory statements have been issued by various players. But it starts making more sense when we look at the interests and intentions of the main players - Mahathir, Azmin, Anwar and Muhiyuddin.
Only the next Parliament session can resolve this issue-who has the vote of confidence?
As you know, Malaysia political upheaval is affecting the stock market and practically every listed share is not spared. Moreover, the novel Coronavirus pandemic is affecting all the economy around the world because the supply chain is broken. To avoid contacting the incurable flu, most people do not want to travel and contact people. Fewer workers want to go to work in China and in many other countries. As a result, there will be a reduction of goods and supply which will affect the economy of every country and the stock market. For example, airlines, manufacturers, tourist industry etc are reporting reduced profits.
New cases of the novel coronavirus that emerged in the central Chinese city of Wuhan in late December are being reported daily around the world.
More than 3,381 people have died globally from COVID-19, as the illness is officially known, while more than 100,000 infections have been confirmed in dozens of countries, according to Johns Hopkins University. Chinese hospitals overflowing with COVID-19 patients a few weeks ago now have empty beds. Trials of experimental drugs are having difficulty enrolling enough eligible patients.
In China the number of new cases reported each day has plummeted the past few weeks. You can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I have reproduced the long report for you to read if you are interested.
These are some of the startling observations in a report released on 28 February from a mission organized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Chinese government that allowed 13 foreigners to join 12 Chinese scientists on a tour of five cities in China to study the state of the COVID-19 epidemic and the effectiveness of the country’s response. The findings surprised several of the visiting scientists. “I thought there was no way those numbers could be real,” says epidemiologist Tim Eckmanns of the Robert Koch Institute, who was part of the mission.
But the report is unequivocal. “China’s bold approach to contain the rapid spread of this new respiratory pathogen has changed the course of a rapidly escalating and deadly epidemic,” it says. “This decline in COVID-19 cases across China is real.”
The question now is whether the world can take lessons from China’s apparent success—and whether the massive lockdowns and electronic surveillance measures imposed by an authoritarian government would work in other countries. “When you spend 20, 30 years in this business it’s like, ‘Seriously, you’re going to try and change that with those tactics?’” says Bruce Aylward, a Canadian WHO epidemiologist who led the international team and briefed journalists about its findings in Beijing and Geneva last week. “Hundreds of thousands of people in China did not get COVID-19 because of this aggressive response.”
“This report poses difficult questions for all countries currently considering their response to COVID-19,” says Steven Riley, an epidemiologist at Imperial College London. “The joint mission was highly productive and gave a unique insight into China’s efforts to stem the virus from spread within mainland China and globally,” adds Lawrence Gostin, a global health law scholar at Georgetown University. But Gostin warns against applying the model elsewhere. “I think there are very good reasons for countries to hesitate using these kinds of extreme measures.”
There’s also uncertainty about what the virus, dubbed SARS-CoV-2, will do in China after the country inevitably lifts some of its strictest control measures and restarts its economy. COVID-19 cases may well increase again.
