IDEAS Community Projects and Projek #BangsaMalaysia are coming together to launch a *HOSPITAL EMERGENCY FUND* to aid our hospitals and medical frontliners.
This *URGENT* effort is to support our overstretched healthcare system as a result of the prolonged COVID pandemic. Hospitals are overwhelmed, medical frontliners are exhausted, equipment is insufficient, and patient care is compromised.
Let us all do our part to help fight this together.
📍Donations can be made to:

We agree with columnist Wong Chin Huat, who recently wrote on the need for the next leaders of our countries to have clear and concrete plans (malaysiakini.com/news/581528) for the future direction of the country.
Projek #BangsaMalaysia is working hard to produce a bottom-up, rakyat-driven roadmap for our nation’s future. This is a long and involved process, and a detailed roadmap will take some time to complete.
MALAYSIA'S HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IS ON THE BRINK OF COLLAPSE, WHY DOES THE GOVERNMENT HAVE ITS HEAD IN THE SAND?
When India faced the worst days of its Covid-19 crisis, the entire world knew.
The transparency regarding just how bad the problem was helped India ensure that its government took the matter seriously, and got the help it needed. This is how India recovered from the near total collapse of its healthcare system.
COMMENT | Thanks to voices from the public and within the political class, including that of Deputy Dewan Rakyat Speaker Azalina Othman Said, a hybrid sitting is now being studied after de facto Law Minister Takiyuddin Hassan (cont'd below)
and Dewan Rakyat Speaker Azhar Azizan Harun revised their opposition to the reopening of Parliament under the state of emergency.
The Malaysian government's failure to curtail the most recent CoVid-19 outbreak, further exacerbated by a sluggish vaccination program, has put our national health services under a tremendous amount of strain, reports @NileBowie .
"Malaysia’s health crisis is taking a turn for the worst as new Covid-19 cases rise exponentially, a viral surge that as a percentage of the population is now higher than India’s daily infection rate."
"With a record number of critically ill patients occupying almost 1,200 intensive care unit (ICU) beds, the healthcare system is at a breaking point amid reports of doctors giving priority care to patients with higher chances of recovery."
"The cancellation by UTM said to be the recommendation of their 'Islamic Center' poses serious questions on the role of the university as a place to enlighten minds or a place to condition knowledge based on a narrow perspective of religious tolerance."
"One of the important aspects of nation-building that is lacking in this country is the sharing and appreciation of other cultures like those of the Kadazan, Murut, Dayak, Iban and Orang Asli."
"The issue also raises the questionable role of universities in nation building with regards to knowledge of a shared heritage in arts."
The Srebrenica War Memorial not only serves as a commemorative focal point for the Bosniak genocide and the final resting place for many of its victims, but also as a damning indictment of man's inhumanity to man.
