| Six months ago, a tiny organism stamped its mark on the human species and became a pandemic that claimed the lives of more than 920,000 people around the world - while in Malaysia, authorities took action by introducing the movement control order to combat Covid-19.

Around the world, especially in badly affected countries, there were many healthcare workers who succumbed to the infection. During this phase of time, I lost more than 6kg, my appetite decreased and for the first time in my life, I developed anxiety over what tomorrow’s challenges might be.
