Malaysia has the highest percentage of men tested positive for Covid-19. Social butterflies, please stay at home! Our public healthcare system has not yet reached its limit but MOH Director-General cautions that we only have two weeks of PPE supply due to worldwide shortage.

Local university students are not allowed to return home to avoid mass movement of people. But worry not, they will be well fed. And Vaisakhi celebrations continue online. Meanwhile, for the first time, value of local glovemakers have over taken casino and airport operator.
