A Spike in Covid-19 Cases in Malaysia













Malaysia continues to see spikes in cases. The number of new infections in Malaysia has exceeded 1,000 for the fifth day in a row. 

In Selangor-KL alone, there were 516 new cases being registered yesterday – and those numbers might seem disturbing. 

But chill lah because 142 were from the Teratai cluster in Selangor – this relates to Top Glove factories in Klang – and 206 were from the Damanlela construction site cluster in Kuala Lumpur (New Straits Times, November 17, 2020). 

Meaning 348 cases (67.4%) came from just those two clusters – and both involving foreign workers. The authorities referred to them as workplace infections.

Nonetheless, life must go on – and I'm still maintaining the call to bring back the RMCO. 

This WSD 2021 promo video is from Mathew Philippose, a member of World Speakers’ Coalition Kuala Lumpur as well as Money Mastery Toastmasters Club:

 

He speaks with a fervid intensity that makes his listeners sit up straight in rapt attention. As a speaker, he’s commanding, compelling and convincing. My kind of speaker!
