Necessary to review decision to re-open schools — Stephen Ng

Subscribe to ourMARCH 7 — The case of a boy from SJK Kong Hoe in Klang tested positive for Covid-19, forcing the closure of the whole class 1K for one week, shows that the decision by the National Security Council may need to be reviewed again.

A student has his temperature checked at Sekolah Kebangsaan Cator Avenue, Ipoh as schools reopen March 1, 2021. — Picture by Farhan Najib At a time when the lawmakers themselves are fearful of convening the parliamentary session scheduled on March 8, why are our children being subjected to the risk of contracting Covid-19? Is this a right decision by the NSC?

Moreover, the 10km radius that was earlier set by the NSC had not been properly defined, causing a confusion in the general public. Even the law enforcement has no clue of how to enforce it. This has caused a friend of mine to miss even the funeral of his late wife when, despite being a permanent resident in Malaysia, it took the Immigrations so long to process his application for re-entry, while in another case, the daughter of a former editor of a newspaper was allowed to attend the funeral on the next day after arrival.
