Galen Centre CEO says it could result in an increase in Covid-19 infections and the loss of more lives. FMTNews Covid19 BazaarRamadhan GalenCentre

The Galen Centre for Health and Social Policy asks who will be held accountable if bazaar activities result in a further spread of the Covid-19 virus.

Azrul Mohd Khalib, CEO of the Galen Centre for Health and Social Policy, said it would be tragic if the bazaar activities were to result in an increase of infections and the loss of more lives.He was commenting on Federal Territories Minister Annuar Musa’s statement yesterday that the bazaars would be allowed to operate in Kuala Lumpur and other federal territories, but with improved crowd management.

Speaking to FMT, Azrul said there was a lack of wisdom in assuming that people would be safe from infection after the expiry of the MCO.He said Annuar should follow the example of authorities in Terengganu and Negeri Sembilan, who have banned Ramadan bazaars for this year. Former deputy health minister Dr Lee Boon Chye said the government should ensure social distancing at the bazaars, both between customers and between them and the hawkers.

Can. No problem but after that all peeps in FT go on lockdown la! So if any outbreak, all die together! 😐 Happy now?

1. Tabligh cluster!! 2. Tahfiz cluster!! 3. Sabah KWSP cluster! 4. Bazaar cluster? How long does this back door gov intend to keep the PKP?

It shows how idiotic this Buluberry model is!!

Mco also not habis. Cakap syok syok buat apa. Gila

Wow

Bodoh... Belum tentu lagilah... Depa kena minta nasihat dan kebenaran KKM dulu.... Kalau ok baru buka... Kalau covid masih teruk depa tak bukalah... Semuanya bergantung pd keadaan lah... Apalah bebal sungguh...bodoh piang betul depa ni...suka buat ikut tafsiran sendiri je

You can tell who has common sense and who doesn’t,go ahead and attend Ramadan bazaar, we will let stupidity lessen the population.If you are stupid enough to go to a crowd place during this time... you deserve what you get. Unfortunately, these idiots will infect the innocent

Isn't the Tabligh Ijtimak at Sri Petaling serving a good lesson?

No pasar ramadan for this year simple and clear. Without pasar ramadan people aren't going to die. Without mco people will die in thousands. Even those with bird size brain can figure this out.

As if d numbers 2day r not high enough 2 caution authorities d dangers of crowded areas by adding more from d current ones.

No jog no walk no Shop no body outside of their House but Bazar allowed Why ?Because COVID 19 listen to our Politician and will not bother or Infect in this area

What have we learn from the Tabligh gathering? Nothing it seems...

U stay home, u starve. U go out 4 food u might die of covid! We brought this upon ourselves but in d final analysis the gov will be blamed. Covid saved PH & this Ramadan bazar is just vote buying. & d bait is death. But 4 survival, political or not people don’t c it.

The politicians just playing politics and dare not cancel this for political purpose. They are hoping the DG of MOH will object! Their attitude is reason why Covid19 is spreading now!

Cuba kita sebut mcm ni pula - 'selepas tempoh PKP, bukan saja Bazaar Ramadhan tak boleh dibuka, tapi pasar terbuka, pasar malam, uptown, downtown, gerai2, food truck, termasuk kedai2 yang lain juga tak dibenarkan dibuka' - adakah ini diterima?

Kalau selepas tempoh PKP, semua kedai pun dah boleh buka, termasuk pasar2 terbuka, gerai2, food truck, kedai2 yang lain, termasuklah Bazaar Ramadhan... kenapa nak dengki sangat pd Bazaar Ramadhan kalau pd masa tu semua pasar terbuka & pasar malam, uptown, downtown boleh dibuka?

Utk info, bagi yg mungkin tak tahu bila bulan puasa mula, Bazaar Ramadhan ni bukan dibuat semasa tempoh PKP, tapi selepas tempoh PKP. Slps tempoh PKP, maksudnya Covid19 sudah terkawal. Semua kedai pun dah buka. Itupun jika dibenarkan, tak boleh dibuat dengan cara biasa.

Oh....Minister and Authorities please think deep on all the consequences if this sort of gathering is not stopped.

Menteri kata kan selepas PKP tamat. Itu pun atas nasihat kementerian berkenaan tntg kaedah dan kesesuaian.

Absolutely. We can name this cluster after the FT minister. The ones who die can get compensation from him.

Minister want support, what happens suffer or death wont be unspoken

jangan menyesal di kemudian hari
