Ministry encouraged Malaysians to prioritise and support locally-made products, especially in helping the country recover from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and revive the economy. Every ringgit spent to buy from local businesses contributes to the country’s post-Covid-19 economic recovery. What do you think?

Most Malaysians are less worried about catching the coronavirus today than they are about the dire state of their wallets and the level of political corruption in the country. According to the Ipsos survey, 54 per cent were worried about the country’s financial situation and corruption while only 51 per cent were worried about Covid-19. How true is this?

Hospitalisation rate in four states breached the 80 per cent mark, which includes both Covid-19 and non-Covid-19 patients. Experts have warned that there are signs that Malaysia could be swept away by a fresh Covid-19 wave if no intervention measures are put in place. Were we too precarious within the last few months?

While we concentrate and worry about the pandemic of Covid-19, we forget that there’s plenty of more bacterias and viruses that can harm us still in existence. One of it is Cholera, which has not been an issue for Malaysians for many years before. Now it has returned and started infecting our fellow Malaysians. Why do you think this happened?

It has been reported that the R nought (Rt) value of Covid-19 has been steadily going down since the 31st August 2021. Unfortunately, ever since the borders and businesses are back open, people are not as cautious as they were before, in which has increased the value for Rt to a possible level of another wave of infections. Who is as fault here?

The Ministry of Health has been debating whether or not the usage of medical marijuana is permitted and legal in Malaysia, as it has been for some states in the United States of America. The question is, does the pros outweigh the bad, when it comes to legalize this "soft" drug?

It is said that in 10 years, we won't have any Malayan Tigers anymore, as they will be extinct. Nature needs our help, together with their inhabitants. But humans are having a tough time caring much of them. Why is that?

Booster dosing began nationwide on Oct 13 for fully vaccinated individuals to ensure that the immunity received after completing their doses can be maintained for an optimal period, especially against Delta variant infections. However, around 40 per cent of people getting their vaccine booster appointment dates under the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (PICK) are not showing up for the jab. Hence, are you ready to take-up the booster shots?

Splashing red paint on houses has to be an Ah Long's ultimate weapon to force someone to pay up. Unfortunately, a family of five are now living in fear after their house was mistakenly splashed with red paint. Why do you think this happened?

When the immunisation program was first introduced in Malaysia, we heard plenty of fake news being talked about, specifically about the vaccines. Unfortunately new fake news are flying around, talking about the booster shots of the vaccine now. Don't people have anything better to do, rather than talking about these fake news?
