Sesudah Tablig, Sekarang Sekolah Tahfiz. Lepas Ini Pendatang Indonesia ??

Here is a comment by Norman Fernandez.

According to the Johor Bahru Consulate General of Indonesia, as at 2019, there are approximately 80,000 Indonesians living in Johor Bahru alone. 

While according to the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur there are about 700,000 registered Indonesians in Malaysia although admitting that the figures could be higher.

Meanwhile to a question in parliament, it was said that as at June 2017 there were 728,870 Indonesians in Malaysia

It is said, there are an equal number of Indonesians illegally in Malaysia and the total number of Indonesians, both legal and illegal in Malaysia could be anywhere from 1.4 million to 1.7 million.

Any wonder, some Indonesians call Malaysia the 34 province of Indonesia. Incidentally, in the Indonesian parliament there is one parliamentary seat reserved for Overseas Indonesians.

Now here is the scary part.

Just imagine how many are returning home for Hari Raya and how many will be returning with the Covid -19 virus now raging uncontrollably in Indonesia.

Unless, the government puts in place IMMEDIATELY a clear protocol of 

1. not allowing ferries now transporting Indonesians back to Indonesia to not bring in Indonesians on the return leg AND 

2. there are clear and mandatory quarantines for Indonesians returning from Indonesia after Hari Raya

Malaysia could face yet another Covid -19 apocalypse.

It remains to be seen if this government will heed the danger ahead. 

By the way, in Indonesia today there were 1,285 Covid-19 cases (+135 new cases) and 114 death.

Malaysia is now in a Covid-19 pandemic which started with cases from the Itjema Tabligh. Now, there are cases from the Tahfiz schools.

What Malaysia now can do is not to suffer Covid-19 cases, brought into the country by Indonesian.

Hope SM and Defence Minister, Datuk Sabri will heed this message.

My comments : 

Here is a simple comparison.

So far Malaysia has (about) 2470 cases with 35 deaths.

Until today Indonesia has about 1285 cases and 114 people have died.

The death rate in Indonesia is much higher - there is one death for every 11 cases.

In Malaysia the mortality is about one death per 70 cases.

The Indonesian mortality rate is more than SIX times the number in Malaysia.

There are much better health facilities in Malaysia. 
We also have more access to high quality and free medical treatment.

The virus is just now beginning to spread in Indonesia. 

Looking at Indonesia's large 264 million population, in a very huge country with its thousands of islands, it is going to be next to impossible to control the virus.

So I hope we pay attention to what Norman Fernandez is saying.

Shutdown the incoming from Indonesia. 

Especially after the balik kampong starts for the Hari Raya.

A sizeable number of Indonesians now return home when the bulan puasa begins.

Bulan puasa begins on 24th April, 2020.

Hari Raya is one month after that.

Here is a 3 minute video (in Urdu but you can still watch it) which shows the recent 250,000 man Tablig Ijtima in Raiwind, Pakistan.  DO NOT MISS 2:20 onwards in the video.

You can see the squalid conditions in which these 250,000 people gathered. This gathering took place around 12 March, 2020. Today is 30th March. There is going to be an explosion in  Corona cases in Pakistan.
