Fellow Malaysians,

It’s MCO 3.0.
We have been hitting 6K+ cases for the past few days. It is the highest since 18th March 2020 MCO 1.0.

Let’s get our head clear here, the enemy we are facing — is smart and very deadly killing COVID-19, the f-smart mutated virus.

I know how frustrated we all Malaysians are while waiting for the news from the current f*iled government later this evening.

I know we are all tired of battling against this invisible virus.

I know we are all feeling so fed up with the bounce back of the COVID-19 situation which is happening now.

I know we are all at the brink of losing hopes towards many things. In life.

I know we are somewhat all worried about the next pay check. The livelihood. The parents. The kids. And the job. And tomorrow.

I know we are all having the fear of being detected positive or hearing somebody get detected positive or died from COVID-19.

I know some of us are even grieving now.

I know our front liners are doing their very best to keep the faith and hope for us all.

I know we are all desperately wanted all these to come to an end and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. #vacccination

I know you know what I am talking about here.

But NOW, I want you to also know the fact that,

1. If we all don’t save ourselves now, no one will. So, STAY HOME.

2. Give help and show kindness to needy neighbour and community. government can’t reach to everybody. Stay home and stop worrying income for a while. And we will live. So, STAY HOME.

3. Accept the fact that we are all connected and everything is connected. We are all human being. We are all susceptible regardless of your status, race, religion . So, STAY HOME.

4. At this superbly urgent and emergency time, self awareness and wisdom are the two things can saves us now. If you are wise enough, STAY HOME.

5. The government, I understand. We have so much disappointments. we can’t go out to vote now. We can’t change them just like how they change themselves to become government as for the moment. How can we do that in the next election. We need to be alive. So STAY HOME and we will stand a chance to vote.

6. We missed the festive celebrations, the get to gather, the visits, gatherings, the cafe, the dining in and we can’t wait for life to go back to normal and the economy to flourish again. If you want to get to experience that, help yourself to stay healthy and alive, STAY HOME

7. We are all human being. We have fears. To stop the fear, the anxiety, the worries, one way to do it for next 21-days, STAY HOME.

8. If you don’t want to be labeled as selfish, STAY HOME.

9. If you don’t want to feel the regret and guilty, STAY HOME.

10. If you want to live through this pandemic and be the survivor of this pandemic in the history so you get to share this covid19 experience to your grandchildren, STAY HOME!

11. If you want to travel again and explore the world again, STAY HOME.

12. If you want to thrive and strive in life, first you must stay alive, STAY HOME.

13. If you want to be able to go to concert, go to the park, go to the hype events again, STAY HOME.

14. If you want to be able to come back home from work without worrying you are the virus carrier, STAY HOME.

15. If you want to change the world and be successful when economy thrive, pls STAY HOME now. To stay alive

16. If you want to get the celebration and spending time with your love ones without worries, STAY HOME.

17. If you want your kids to have a normal schooling life again, STAY HOME.

18. If you still want to be able to lunch with your colleagues, enjoy working in the office, STAY HOME.

19. If you want your love one to stay healthy and alive, STAY HOME.

20. IF YOU WANT TO STAY ALIVE, Please STAY HOME.

Turn your FEAR INTO FAITH.

Turn your FRUSTRATION INTO FIGHTING SPIRIT.

Turn your HELPLESSNESS INTO HOPE.

Turn your IGNORANCE INTO getting INFORMED.

Turn your IRRESPONSIBILITIES INTO IMMUNISATION (take vaccine!)

Turn your TIREDNESS INTO TAKING CARE OF EACH OTHER.

Turn your NEGATIVE INTO STAYING NEGATIVE From COVID-19.

Turn your ANGER INTO AWARENESS

Turn your PAIN into PATIENCE!!

Turn your LIMITATION INTO LOVE

Turn your SUFFERING INTO SUPPORT

Let’s do this SELF MCO FOR 21 days, fellow Malaysians, we can definitely do this!

STAY HOME TO STAY ALIVE.

With much hope and faith,
A fellow
Malaysian just like you.
