CMCO Could Spell Advent of Second Wave Infections and More Deaths in Malaysia.

 By X'roy Bogel

THE JAILING OF MINISTERS WHO DO NOT ADHERE TOT HE RULES OF THE MCO MAY PREVENT THE SECOND WAVE.

Perhaps Muhyiddin is staying at home so he is not aware.



The General Malaysian public are not an orderly lot to say the least, it is not only confined to one race, all races form this disorderly lot in this nation.

Why are Malaysian's so disorderly?

They are so because the system at large has allowed them to be such,in fact the system promotes disorderliness  and so this "Controlled Movement Order Control" now termed (CMOC) looks like the perfect breeding  ground for a more disastrous second wave of the Corona Virus epidemic in this country.

To stem it out the Government has to really be seen to wanting to instill immediate measures to bring discipline to the population where without fear of favour they enforce the control and with stiffer jail terms and fines on its ministers and and members of Parliament who flout t making them the example instead of finding lame cock and bull excuses for letting them off with a slap on the wrist.

Where is the Social distancing?


This will result in serious thinking and the Malaysians will respond likewise. They must see the government as being fair wise and serious, which is not how they see their government today.

Probably all or if not most Malaysian members of Parliament are not aware of the nation wide curfew imposed in Malaysia during the May 13 riots. If you were caught breaking the curfew then,  you were shot, no questions asked and no answers given either, you break the curfew, you get shot period.

Muhyiddin was in Johore probably still in school and Johor was  not so hot a spot as Selangor or Penang, so he dos not know, even that old fool Mahathir was probably in Kedah where it wasn't that hot after all but everybody knew the consequences, although Malay Kampungs in rural areas were hardly policed as a result they do not know how to enforce and that is the problem.

Malaysian discipline is so lapse because of poor enforcement, because of the abuse of the laws by the higher ups and their ability to get away with it that has caused this massive disorderliness in the society.

As Senior Manager I have always told those managers I have supervised, and  their supervisors this, "if you can't get your people to follow simple regulations, like come to work in time, wear shoes an
not sandals and slippers to work, you'll not be able to get them to do anything," and that applies to the population at large.

If you can't get them to do the small things right you'll never be able to get them to do the more difficult things - common sense, but which is so lacking in our government and the enforcement authorities. 

CMCO? Where are the controls?
Go to a predominately Indian area like Little India in  Brickfields, or Klang an see how traffic comes to almost a standstill because of the way traffic is parked all along the road, go to the Chinese areas in Klang,  Pudu and Cheras you'll find the same, go to the Malay areas in Kl it is no different
.

How many times have you properly parked your car in a public parking lot, paid your parking fees only to come out and find a car parked right behind your car, locked, and its owner no where in sight.
I am sure if you are Malaysian at least five out of ten would have had this experience, and at last when the owner of the car behind your car comes out because of repeated horning he/she  stares  at you as though you are a nuisance and as though he is ready to bash you up.

How many times in the area I have mentioned people park in no Parking areas and  often even  block an entire lane, and block traffic flow, without any policeman, or enforcement officers in sight, although this is a whole day thing and happens day after day and month after month.

Traffic jams in Malaysia can never be solved for the same reason, before a traffic light junction on a long road Malaysian drivers get "fish-brained" the two lanes become, three four and at times even five lanes causing massive jams, this happens once too often, give them an avenue and they'll not only flout the law but brazenly break it too.

At the first announcement of the Movement Control Order (MCO) the Inspector General of Police announced that those wanting to cross borders to get back home would have to apply for  police permit, he madde is announcement on the eve of the MCO and resultantly Police stations became overwhelmed with people wanting to return to their hometowns, they looked at  the MCO as a long holiday, the result the police caved in and allowed all those who wanted to to cross borders to do so.
Who is Controlling this government's Controlled Movement Control Order?

Now we would have expected more careful thought from the Police, it was a demonstration of  the IGP's inability to read the response of the Malaysian people they have been policing for more than a century, what a shame. He should have expected that response, he was in the force for so many years, he should have  known  the mentality, it only goes to show how out of touch these people were.

Well of course we lean by our mistakes, that is supposed to be the case, but do we? And with cross border movements have we?

Now  the same thing has been done again for this CMCO but this time  by the Senior Minister Ismail Sabri and it only took a day or two for 500,000 people to make that application.
Will they ever learn?
In fact I am seriously of the opinion they do not have the capacity to learn from past mistakes.


If you take a look at eateries especially the mamak ones during the break fast time and see the crowds that flock there, there is no sense of social distancing? Some Mamak shops are more like a bazaars, in effect they really are Bazaars, they sell a variety of food.

I have seen Malays out at about 9.00 a.m thru the back doors of eateries I think they are being wise, thy can't beat the crowds in the evenings and take unnecessary risks so they go ahead and  do not fast, they are forced to by circumstances or they are buying their food early.

Eateries for Muslims  have to cook in sufficient food and ensure their clients that there is sufficient food in the eatery to enforce social distancing,  they should be given the task of ensuring the orderliness especially for social distancing.

Now the major question is the government's ability to enforce the CMCO especially in factories, and other places where there are large numbers of people,have they really got an effective enforcement machinery.

There was a time when the government had Factories and Machinery Department to enforce the requirements of the law. With the implementation of the Department of Safety and Health these officers became redundant and the role of compliance fell with the enterprise Safety Health Officer who are sometimes I believe asked to allow compromises.

In the MCMO the Job of the Safety and Health Officer is to ensure compliance with the MCMO orders in the workplace, but there has to be an enforcement unit and this Unit can't be going out once in thirteen months like the Factories and Machinery  Department officers of old, because the virus is not going to wait that long.
There has to be random checks and maybe evn two in a month to be safe, imposing big fines are nothing preventing clusters is everything.


The politicians by and large are ignorant of the inability to control, after all when they move around they have outriders to clear the jams for them, well at least most of them, those who have been through this rigmarole  would now feel so important that they do not have to go through the troubles any longer they are numbed by sense of importance and none, not even one, since independence as I can see has made any serious effort to clean up this act of enforcement.

Can we first get our enforcement people be they the cops, the city or municipal enforcement officers, DOSH  and everyone else empowered to act to act without fear or favour and to ensure it is done fairly which also is very lacking in this racist society of ours.

Yes our system has made many of us racists, not only the Malays the other races too, and that is sad because we have and are divided on racial lines.

My hats of to our Director General of Health he has not revealed any statistics by race in this Covid 19 Corona virus pandemic an excellent move sin this racist society of ours, now we look at it as our problem and not a Malay, Chinese or Indian problem.

If we do not take real stern measures, this country is going to witness  a pandemic of such huge proportions, which we bring upon ourselves by not only  our inability to do the right things, but by not wanting to do the right things, sheer negligence.

We have to decide if the Economy is more important than the Life of the ordinary Malaysians.

The not so ordinary people  have by crooked means accumulated enough wealth sufficient for generations, there is a general feeling they continue to do this even in this pandemic,  if they really care for this country they should now come in and empty all that ill gotten gains   back into the national coffers so that we can once again begin to rebuild our country.

Then again if you have lived in this country for as long as I have and made it a point to be aware of what is happening, I can tell you they will not and will continue to deny they ever made a crooked buck out of you and me and the nation even as they continue to do so.

AT THE MOMENT, AS IT STANDS, I AM FEELING SORRY FOR OUR FRONT-LINERS.
I PRAY TO ALMIGHTY GOD TO GIVE THE THE STRENGTH TO PRESERVER AND NOT GIVE UP ON US.

THESE FRONT-LINERS ESPECIALLY THOSE IN THE HOSPITALS ARE MOST DESERVING OF DATUKSHIPS, TAN SRI TITLES AND EVEN THE TUN.

And yet we have people who are ministers, who have contributed less or absolutely nothing, one of whom claimed they should be given Datukships so they can do their job better ,without realising that they are EXPECTED, to give their best in return for nothing, as they have been placed there by the people and are expected to serve the people,and not ask for rewards before contributing anything of vvalue to the people, that minister must be publicly shamed by her prime Minister and his refusal to do so only goes to show the type of person he is.

I fear we are in for the second wave, because I do nto see they dynamism in our Prime Minister and his cabinet and his reluctance to get Parliament the highest authority in this country to sit for meaningful dialogue can only spell disaster.

 By X'roy Bogel 28/04/2020  MAHATHIR WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE ARCHITECT OF THE FAILED MALAYSIAN STATE.  With and Ego as big as the elephant this man has put Malaysian on the road to become a failed state. Malaysia is on the fast lane to becoming a failed state and don't blame the Covid 19 virus, it had and will have nothing to with that, there is one person who stands out and there is no denying he is the only one.  Mahathir Mohamad , he will go down on history as  the  architects for  the failure of this Nation. He is a racist, has always been one an extreme right wing fascist.
