Covid-19 in Malaysia

Assalamualaikum wbt
All praises to Allah SWT and His Messenger

Hello reader.

If you are reading this now, you know that we are all in this Covid-19 pandemic for few months already. This pandemic started in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and to date has spread worldwide :(.

If you found this post after a few years it being published, do continue reading as I share my personal experience facing the quarantine exercise during this pandemic outbreak in Malaysia.

Before it was announce as a pandemic, we were all still working as usual but precaution steps are taken as advised by the Government. Until recently, it was announced as pandemic and some drastic actions has been taken nationwide.

For instance, the company i work with has practiced work-from-home (WFH) and a more flexible and shorter working hours. This is applied to both back office and front liners staff (Counter staff). Most companies in Malaysia has practiced doing so to lessen interaction among people which we hope would be able to prevent more people from getting infected. 

Hence the Restriction Movement Order (RMO) announced by the Government. We are now in the 2nd phase of RMO in Malaysia. The 1st phase was from 18 March - 31 March 2020 & 2nd phase is from 1 - 14 April 2020. The extension was necessary as the number of cases are increasing day by day. For now, we are not sure whether there could be another extension, but i can feel that the possibility is there.

During RMO there were road blocks. It is called restriction order so the objective is to control the movement throughout. So, non-essentials shops are closed, only essentials and supermarkets are allowed to be in operation in order to continue food supply. We have to practice social distancing at all times, being 1 metre apart from each other. Only the head of family can go and buy groceries, the Government allows only 1 person in each vehicle. There were many more orders which the objective is only one, to avoid interaction thus prevent being infected.

The concern regarding Covid-19 is that we will never know that we are infected until we are tested. Some people develop symptoms while some do not, which is worrisome.

As a responsible citizen and human being, let abide the Government order. Practice social distancing, avoid meeting people, if it is necessary take precautions steps such as be 1 metre apart and wear face mask if you have cough or flu. This second phase or second wave in Malaysia witnessed another increasing number of cases due to previous interaction before the RMO started. We hope that after a month of RMO, the numbers of recovery will start to increase and number of cases stops or decrease soon.

For now, let's take the prevention steps together. Don't forget to use the extra time we have by praying for our family, friends and country. Spend the time we have now doing the things we need and we always wanted to. Lastly, let's hope this pandemic recovers soon. Sending love to everyone reading.

English for Professional Communication

Assalamualaikum wbt All praises to Allah SWT and His Messenger Greetings readers! As stated above, in this entry I would like to share about the course that I am taking at present.

Sleepless night to remember

Assalamulaikum wbt All praises to Allah SWT and His Messenger Hello. Upon writing this post, I am at a state where I can no longer open my eyes to continue doing my work. My friends and I are at Level 9 Menara at this late hour, yup (for those who know the history.........hahahaa.....). It's kind of our lepak place for wifi, for just us. Alhamdulillah. Our journey are coming to its end. So far, we are done with two of our professional presentations. It was a nerve-wrecking and sleepless experience on preparing the text and searching for information and practice and what not for the presentation. Nevertheless, I enjoy every last moment of it. Even now, it is just so difficult to finish up my thesis and do the amendments needed, I choose not to fret and just keep on continuing these difficult times as I believe I will be reminiscing these times later in the future. InsyaAllah, everything will end this Monday. My prayers to all of us, myself and my friends, that we...

Prom Night

Assalamualaikum wbt All praises to Allah SWT and His Messenger And so, our konon2 Prom Night was a fun night. We actually called it Pre-Graduation Dinner plus also combining the dinner with the Dean's Award recipients.  It sounds funny when you called it Prom Night. For me when it is called as such, it sounds Americanish , wild and western .hahaa. But it is also suitable to be called as such to show it was a celebrated night and because the theme for that night was Tie, Suit and Dresses , I know, nice wasn't it. And the dinner, it was not the place or the food that we would fret about or be bossy about later on, its the people and the friends and the pictures that we will talk about again and again, it will be the memory that we will probably recall in the future, the almost last moment of a student life.hahaa. And guess what, just after the dinner, we the gals went and lepak for a while for a short kopi session just to end the night nicely. Wahh, a night to rem...
