How this Kedah reach this point ?
Case numbers for comparison:

16/5: 363
15/5: 239
14/5: 228
13/5: 193
12/5: 226
Among the clues will be when more details of certain clusters are revealed.. like Kluster Dah Lengkuas.. (Kedah clusters now have the extra "Dah" in front, like when we had "Bah" for Sabah clusters last year)..
