I am surprised this revelation is not getting traction from our digital community!
To an IT-idiot like me-MySJ is like a failed App
Millions spent to promote penetration
Up to 60% as alleged by MOH
RM50 given per user
BUT only 4% as a measure of effectiveness?
Imagine if Grab spent millions to develop the App and promoted the app through RM50 voucher to all Malaysians
Only to find a mere 4% of its users using it to conduct business
It will be a FAILED APP.
If I may ask, how much taxpayer’s money was spent on this 4% MySJ?
How many were compounded RM1K for not checking-in MySJ?
Only to b told MOH didn’t use the check-in data to contact trace!
Why punish the rakyat when MySJ never even considered the info as crucial?
Why mandate us to scan it like idiots if the data points aren’t utilized optimally?
Why sideline other better Apps if MySJ failed to execute their primary function to facilitate Contact Tracing (CT)?
If only MySJ did CT correctly, we won’t be seeing COViD spread in Klang Valley like now, since we would have contained the infection faster through smart CY
The most critical question is: If the check-in data is not fully used for Contact Tracing ...What will it be used for?
So many questions, yet so little disclosure.
Secret ke?
Official Secrets Act ke?
It’s like “buka pekong didada”
Kata org London “Letting the cat out of the bag”

Chinese vaccine manufacturers eg Sinopharm in Msia to sign deals
Politicians & biz guys are eyeing “dirty profits”
Lets be clear!
Malaysian govt @MOFmalaysia must buy at #COVAX best prices ie about US$10/dose
@gavi @WHOMalaysia @CEPIvaccines

#Budget2021 must invest in #SihatBersama2030
There is a large Gap in Malaysia’s Investment in Health
Pooled Health Expenditure = USD 420 per capita
Malaysia’s Health Expenditure = USD 244 per capita
Malaysia’s Investment Gap = USD 176 per capita
#Budget2021 must invest in #SihatBersama2030
Government investment in health has declined from
⁃a high of 2.14% of GDP in 2003 to
⁃1.89% of GDP under BN
⁃2.0% of GDP (PH) in 2020
Malaysia’s Investment in Health is insufficient
The target is 4.0% of GDP
#SihatBersama2030
Govt investments alone NOT sustainable
-Low pooled financing (62%)
-Dependent on federal budget
-Decline in govt expenditure as %GDP
-Stagnant Private Health Insurance
-High Medical Price Inflation (13.6%)
-High out-of-pocket spending-RM 2,827/household/yr

IMHO this is a culmination of old school public health tools
Think out of the box and re-strategize
Few ideas to consider:
1. Use Rapid RTK-Ag not Slow PCR testing-no backlogs
2. Universal testing not targeted testing-esp #Sabah
3. Ramp up RTK-Ag in #Sabah- 100K not enough
4. Cap the cost of RTK-Ag testing at private labs/hospitals so #NowEveryoneCanTest
5. Frequent HCW testing to protect them & patients in healthcare settings
6. More resources/HCW deployed to #Sabah. Pre-COVID #Sabah was underfunded/understaffed/underpaid/overworked
7. Make sure HCW/Volunteers feed/rest/sleep well so as to mitigate burnt-out & low morale. Pay elaun stat!
8. Set up more low risk Isolation Centres to nurse pre/asymptomatic/mild COVID cases-esp #Sabah
9. Create more COVID beds in MOH. Decant non-COVID cases to private hospitals

Nuances here more political than scientific.
IMHO the data shared (and unshared) points to a few scientific issues
1. It proves the sci that the election is a super-spreader event
2. Some returnees/politicians (no data shared) cud be super-spreader persons thestar.com.my/news/nation/20…
3. The massive surge of cases in Sabah reinforces this super-spreading phenomenon of the elections
4. The 30.8% Sabah cluster in Klang Valley could have been prevented if MOH: a)quarantined the returnees/politicians from #Sabah (b)re-tested the returnees
5. @DrAmarMOH showed down-trending of unlinked cases fr 63% to 7% (12 Oct). Shows that Klang Valley outbreak was clustered. This is “relatively good” news since clusters are easier to detect-track-contain. It debunks need for CMCO if rapid testing-tracing-isolation was robust!

1/ Successes of Public Health (PH) is largely invisible
They go unreported-out of sight out of mind!
PH funding < Sec/Tertiary/Curative/Tehab
eg Success of Vaccines-Took us 15 years to get PCV in our Nat Imm Program in 2020
But 1 case of polio/diphtheria-Msia goes hysterical!
2/ To detect #COVID19 before it spreads, PH needs FREQUENT/ACCESSIBLE/RAPID TESTING
We cannot detect pre/asymptomatic cases before they spread if we do not test FREQUENTLY
RTK-Ag picks out the infectious cases.
A powerful test for #COVID19 contagiousness
youtube.com/embed/4vvgefwK…
3/ RTK-Ag perform best in areas of active transmission
And when collected from a case with highest viral loads (most infectious)
2 days before (pre/asymptomatic) and up to 5-7 days after symptom onset
Rapid testing=Rapid isolation=Faster control of spread=Containment

On-point @ProfAdeeba
Didn’t they preach 3Cs?
Distance>2m+Talk<15 min+Mask are NOT high COVID risk!
CMCO is an OVERKILL
-Kills livelihoods
-Kills economy
-Harms mental health
-Spawns national HYSTERIA
Why punish MakCikKiah who wants to put food on table?
astroawani.com/berita-malaysi…
COVID-19 + MCOs disproportionately burdens low rank/paid workers aka #MakcikKiah selling goreng pisang at PPR flats
Causes big holes in their pockets and brains-anxiety/depression/suicides
M’sia MUST use all tools available NOT JUST MCOs! WHO dah kata-kan? malaymail.com/news/what-you-…
Unlike @DrAmarMOH others blurt nos without analysis of trends
Downtrending of unlinked cases=decreasing community spread
Data speaks against CMCO
RTK-Ag as part of pop-level strategy to “sweep” & isolate infected individuals is the way fwd to contain/eliminate #COVID19Malaysia
