NSTopinion: In these days of uncertainties, we take care of our own — our families, our communities, our fellow citizens, our country. kitajagakita MCO MovementControlOrder Covid19 coronavirus

Well, we stayed home. It seemed rather uninspiring, but we created the gap so that infection can’t make the leap to the others. It was the least of sacrifices, and yet the most effective.

They are all heroes, all of them. They risk their lives, literally, to save us from ourselves, and to give us some semblance of normalcy.Yet, as much as staying at home is our rallying cry, Malaysians need to step up when meeting the modern world’s greatest challenge, thus far. In many ways, we are all already affected. The MCO, for instance, means thousands of businesses, big and small, from the ubiquitous nasi lemak stalls that greet our mornings, all the way to the multi-nationals, have to shut down. Some may never reopen, and those that will, may be operating in a much-changed environment.

There are appeals to help individuals, groups, or communities affected greatly by the MCO; people who do not have an income when their places of work closed, or could not afford food and even shelter. Collectively, we must see this as a defining moment in our nation’s history. Rather than be bogged down by never ending politicking, being worked up by churlish and boorish comments, we can rise up and show that we are more than mere pawns in the game.

We need to step up, and be nice to one another. Step up and take responsibility for our actions. Step up and practise good citizenship.
