THE green light given to sports and recreational activities conducted in open areas was a relief to many.
However, with the rising number of Covid-19 cases in the Klang Valley, regulars are choosing to avoid public spaces like recreational parks.
StarMetro visited Taman Persekutuan Bukit Kiara and Taman Rimba Kiara in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur over the weekend.
Although people could be seen at both public parks, the number was a far cry from the pre-movement control order days.
At around 8am, police arrived at the entrance of Taman Persekutuan to monitor adherence to the standard operating procedure.

But there is nothing the current laws cannot do to combat the pandemic that the emergency can.
Unless Muhyiddin Yassin can specify these “certain powers” under the emergency that it will otherwise be denied, we will take it that his sudden impulse to declare the emergency was to pre-empt the spate of withdrawal of support to him from MPs coming his way.

I don t think this is an isolated case. The government is announcing millions to help those in need affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Where does the money go?
Either it is not reaching those in need, or they just ignore those who cry for help. This family must have tried their best to get government assistance before they took this drastic step.
For the opposition, this is what you should harp on; not wear suits in Parliament and keeping shouting to bring the government down. How come your ground network didn t notice this family on the street?
