The recent surge in Singapore's Covid-19 cases came from the foreign workers' dormitories there.

| I am writing this wishing that I am wrong, but I am not fully comfortable at this stage to congratulate ourselves that we have done well in our fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.

But against all this, we must really look at the number of tests we have conducted each day especially in areas deemed most vulnerable. The Ministry of Health has rightly focussed its scarce resources on the “hot” clusters so far. But have we done enough to cover all the potential hot areas? Malaysia too has a large number of foreign workers residing everywhere, in worker quarters and dormitories. Have we checked on them?

Most foreign workers live in conditions that are less than ideal. It is important for Malaysia to learn valuable lessons from Singapore’s experience.

LETTER | How about appointing MPs as GLC heads with no salary?If the real intention is to just monitor the GLCs, then prove it by receiving no salary. Don’t pave way for them to curi makan dytiaaurinh ... and they can still make money from bribes and favors? An excellent win-win suggestion. Perhaps Tan Sri PM MuhyiddinYassin could respond positively to this idea.
