This graph from “Our World in Data” shows that we are not the worst country but neither are we the best. We must benchmark ourselves against countries with progressive health systems like South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore which have made a difference in this pandemic.
The World Health Organisation has emphasised the need to test adequately to identify infected individuals and reduce secondary infections. It has stressed the need to prevent infections among healthcare workers and not allow any transmission amplification events. The movement control order has been vital in curbing the coronavirus epidemic in our country but we cannot keep it indefinitely. It is hurting our poorer Malaysians severely.

It will test the quality of our leadership in the difficult days ahead.The views expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of FMT.
