Are we ready?

On the 1 May 2020, the PM announced that we will be reopening all economic sectors in the country.
From 4th May, almost all businesses will be allowed to resume their operations subject to the 'strict' SOP set by the government.

My question is are we ready? Are YOU ready? If you ask me, I know I am not.

While we have successfully managed to somewhat flatten the curve, the war against this Covid-19 isn't over yet.

I understand that many are struggling. Many jobs are lost due to this. People have no money. No money for food. I feel really bad and sad for them. I wish there is more I can do to help.

The government has no choice but to start the economy running again. We need to #supportlocal and as much as we can, please just #stayathome

Some of us will have to go back to work. Shops are reopening. Restaurants are reopening. As much as I want things to go back to normal and get the economy back up again, please remember that we still have to fight Covid-19.

Do your part to support the locals. We can do this!

1. Support your favourite restaurant but if you can, tapau and eat at home.

2. Practice social distancing at all cost. Go to your favourite local fashion store, but if there are too many people in the store, come back another time. Check if they have online stores and do store pick up!

3. Keep your masks on and wash your hands regularly.

4. Work from home if you can

5. Do not ask for discounts especially if you are buying kuih from a Makcik Kiah. Times are hard.

6. Give extra tips when you use a rider to pick up your items. It will make a lot of difference.

7. Look for someone or a family you can support around you community. There's always someone you can help! Or if you need help, please seek help. Don't suffer alone.

8. Check facts before forwarding a message on whatsapp. There's no need to add panic to our community.

9. Use common sense. I know sometimes common sense is not so common, but please think before making any decisions whether to go out, to visit friends, to hang out or to take the kids out. Think first if it is worth it!

10. Pray!! Pray for not just for your health but also for the health of others. It is fasting month and a good month for our prayers to be answered!

Stay Positive Malaysians.

We can do this!!!
