Netizens are in a hurry to know whether the new PM Ismail Sabri Yaakob will be able to disperse the dark COVID-19 legacy left behind by ex-PM TS Muhyiddin Yassin? WhatsApp is full of messages saying it is a tough task for the new PM.
Some are even saying this Merdeka will be as dark as the gloomy days with the rise in the COVID-19 death toll. See for yourself:
They say Malaysia will be breaking three bad records on Merdeka Day. One is there will be a total of 16,000 deaths nationwide since the pandemic began. Two Malaysia will register more than 1.7 million cases. Three, the country will overtake the Czech Republic, becoming a country with the largest number of registered cumulative cases. See the Malay version of the WhatsApp message below:
Kita bakal cipta 3 rekod buruk menjelang Hari Kebangsaan ke-64:
➡️ 16,000 kes kematian keseluruhan;
➡️ lebih 1.7 juta kes Covid-19; dan
➡️ memintas Republik Czech untuk berada di kedudukan ke-23 antara negara-negara dengan jumlah kumulatif kes Covid-19 tertinggi.
Mampukah PM baharu pastikan terdapat dasar baharu dalam perang melawan pandemik Covid-19 dan penerapan strategi “keseluruhan masyarakat”?
