On April 4, health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah stated that almost 45% of all Covid-19 cases in Malaysia were linked to the Sri Petaling tabligh gathering cluster.
My sorrow about the gathering is that it became an avenue for racist and religious vitriol. There are those on social media who have had a field day criticising this event and those associated with it, worsened by the fact that not all of the attendees, or those in contact, have stepped forward to get tested.
Take the case of the really sorrowful tale of the family in Sarawak, where one family member came home from Italy, unknowingly having contracted the virus and passed it on to multiple family members. A few of them passed away from the infection. Do you think that the family member who returned from Italy ever thought that he or she would be infecting his or her whole family, causing so much grief? Not for a second, right.
Beginning this week, quite a few Malaysians overseas have begun to make their way home, to undergo quarantine. The estimate of returning Malaysians are about 4,000 per day. Quarantine centres are under tight supervision, but they are definitely not prisons. My wife, a government doctor on the frontlines every day, says it’s not your fault when you get the infection, but it is your fault when you ignore advice and pass it on to your family and friends and someone dies.
Yes unconcerned about advice that's your faults as you may infect others unknowingly!
'If they knew they faced that kind of risk, they would not have attended.' - Not true. Some tried to attend the one in Sulawesi, thank God it was canceled, but one came back and died. Others attended the one in Delhi. Thank God, they were apprehended by the police there.
What are, good news fellowship conference and keluarga rk?
Too late
Why no minister take responsibility for giving approval for the massive Tabligh gathering.....16000 devotees?

Hello Dr, don't have to be an apologist. We need brave people to call a spade a spade.
I agree with most of what you wrote. But pls check the fact on the Sarawak case. It wasn’t the family member who came back from Italy. It was a colleague to a family member. I read it on social media which forwarded the post from a member of the family. Who to believe?
