| The Health Ministry has reminded construction firms to take precautions against Covid-19 after three clusters of the disease were discovered at construction sites.
“Employers are responsible for educating workers on good hygiene practices and prevention measures. They must ensure these practices are implemented not only at the workplace but it is also important to practice them at the workers’ quarters. The tests have revealed 88 Covid-19 cases at construction sites. Of these, a cluster involving 31 cases had been detected out of 488 people tested at a construction site in Kuala Lumpur.
“The NSC’s orders to screen all migrant workers at construction industries in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor is a precautionary measure that only provides the workers’ health status at that time only before being allowed to return to work.

Covid-19: Do not discriminate against migrant workers, Health DG warnsPETALING JAYA: With Covid-19 infection clusters emerging in three immigration detention centres, Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah has said that negative sentiments against detainees must not be amplified and must not be a catalyst for discrimination in saving lives. You should have thought of this earlier Done comprehensive testing and quarantine all immigrant depots before easing MCO. And allowing ludicrous policies like 20 to a house ! Now u-turn again and again to shift blame Its not their intentions to get infected but their living conditions.Employers be responsible not to crowd their workers in a limited space/hostels.Spread them or move them bigger space.Even its foreign workers its still 1 life/ humans. Thank you DG. Hope the government heeds your advice; it's been very reliable all this while. Please help these migrants.

Don't amplify negative sentiments against immigration detainees - Health DGCORONAVIRUS | Noor Hisham's comment comes as a Covid-19 outbreak is detected at a third immigration detention depot. Why does this Perikatan Nasional government appointed by the Agong treat migrant workers like the way Communist Party of China treats migrant workers working in China? Is it because the government is actually a fascist-communist government? Read: Hantar balik How do you ensure safe physical distance and practices in a detention centre with lots of people.

Don't stir up hate, says health DG after 3rd cluster of migrant casesNoor Hisham says immediate and united action is needed as 6 cases are reported in Sepang, after 21 in Semenyih and 31 in Bangi. FMTNews Covid19 Which fella didn’t listen about the consequences? Shouldn’t have captured and stored them in cramped environments in the first place. It's within the camp hence it's easier to trace & treat instead of spreading to 1000s of innocent Malaysians and LEGAL foreign workers. Instead ILLEGALS should be grateful that the GOV is treating them. Amboi dah la ILLEGAL pastu nak treatment free pastu burden the frontliners

Covid-19 spike: Undocumented migrants form bulk of cases, says Health DGPUTRAJAYA: New infections of Covid-19 hit three digits again since May 3, with a majority of them coming from undocumented migrants. It's that some kinda consolation ? Or in denial that Malaysia walking on very thin ice with over 5mil migrants ...and 3mil unaccounted for. Then compare this to Singapore spike with less than 300k proper documented migrants. This is just the fraction of the bulk of undocumanted migrants. See what Singapore is doing right at this moment, everyday almost 400-500 migrant workers being tested positive for Covid. If Malaysia is doing the same,by the thousand daily, rough estimate. Foreign workers esp illegal is time bomb for us in dealing with covid19. i) their CULTURE is not in keeping with good hygiene (including foreign security guards) ii) their living condition is cramp & very crowded where covid will spread easily Thread 1/2
