My worst nightmare for GE15: 1. The return of an incompetent coalition led by incumbents who are racial & religious bigots!
2. The return to the rule BY law and not rule OF law where corrupt politicians escape justice by manipulating the justice system!
3. Where a badly bruised 🇲🇾 economy suffers further erosion of confidence which will spiral 🇲🇾 into a failed state.
Therefore, the rakyat must choose a set of political leaders with caliber & integrity who are able to reset 🇲🇾 future.
Failure is not an option!
How to reset 🇲🇾 ? 1. Utilize well qualified & honest experts to stabilize the economy & it’s return to good fiscal health.
2. Restore the pristine functions of the institutions, namely the PM’s office, judiciary & parliament etc.
3. Responsible & transparent political governance will inspire the rakyat’s confidence & FDI will flow into 🇲🇾
4. Other priorities eg education, health, housing, race relations & national harmony will need working through in tandem with a healthy & vibrant economy.
None of these will happen if GE15 elects 🇲🇾 a set of self serving & corrupt leaders ie

Susah nak cari data KKM
Boleh share di-DOSM?
Kebanyakan kes Pertussis:
✅Terlalu muda untuk vaksin (un-vaccinated) ✅Tak cukup dos vaksin untuk umur (under-vaccinated)
Solusi untuk ⬇️ kes dan kematian Pertussis:
✅Vaksin Tdap (Tetanus-Diphteria-Pertussis) ibu hamil utk melindungi bayi
✅Vaksin 6 serangkai (termasuk Pertussis) 2,3,5,18 bulan yang pertama
✅Vaksin tambahan untuk remaja dan dewasa
Just thinking!
The issues in the MOH are
✅Chronic maybe 10-20 yrs
✅With an acute on chronic crisis
✅Due to the acts of omission or commission
✅Mainly by technocrats warming seats in Putrajaya
✅Who marginalised the best & bold brains in MOH who dared to open their mouths
✅But of course the jurassic political stewardship is like hopeless with no roadmap for the future of healthcare
✅But despite lousy political masters, I’ve served under 2 excellent DG’s who made MOH a class act
✅Undoubtedly the current YBMK can do better.
✅But if one has a mediocre set of technocrats, one is compromised in one’s health deliverables.
✅And mind you, this technocrat malaise is not just in the MOH
✅The paucity of ideas, imagination, motivations & skill sets is pervasive in the civil service-kinda open secret la!

Since 1998 I’ve cared for women & children living with HIV/AIDS in @imamalaysia Rumah Solehah
I have some insight into the problem though not as great @adeeba@ummuafeera whose passion & dedication I totally admire & respect!
✅Unfortunately, many who dabble in the PrEP issue have virtually no hands on experience in dealing with this most painful, sensitive & explosive issue.
✅They lack empathy and more crucially, they lack rahmah, compassion & love for the marginalised communities
✅They stigmatise further these vulnerable groups mainly young Muslims, instead of engaging with them to decrease their risky behavior & saving them from being infected with HIV/AIDS
✅You don’t achieve abstinence with one turn-over camp or 1-2 sessions of dr consult!
