KUALA LUMPUR: Those who had travelled to their hometowns and are now stranded there since the movement control order was imposed will be allowed to return after getting permission to travel, says Bukit Aman.

Federal CID director Comm Datuk Huzir Mohamed (pic) said the government came to this decision on April 23 and applications could be made via the Gerak Malaysia app.

“The app can be downloaded from Google Play Store, Apple App Store and Huawei App Gallery.

“Those who are eligible can apply from today to make their interstate journeys,” he said in a statement on Saturday.

Comm Huzir said those who submitted their applications on Sunday would be required to update their application on April 29 to confirm their travel destinations.

“They will be able to check the status of their applications on May 1 via the app.

“The period for permitted interstate travel is between May 1 and 3 and all motorists must plan their trips accordingly,” he said, adding that those using the North South Expressway (NSE) must remember some important details.

Comm Huzir said that there would be no restaurants or food stalls open at any of the rest areas along the NSE.

“Surau will be closed and no group prayer activities will be allowed at the rest areas, including inside the building, open areas or carparks there.

“Only the toilet facilities will be open and motorists will be required to rest inside their vehicles at the carparks.

“They will not be allowed to exit their vehicles unless it is to go to the toilet,” he said, adding that petrol stations would be allowed to operate between 6am and midnight along the highway.

He also reminded motorists that no group activities would be permitted during the journey.

“Those who do not have access to the app can make written requests for travel at their nearest police station but priority would be given to users of the Gerak Malaysia app,” said Comm Huzir.

“A press statement will be made on the application procedures later today followed by a press conference on Wednesday to ensure all interstate travel goes smoothly and in an orderly manner.”

China announced Thursday it will donate another $30 million to the World Health Organization to help in the global fight against the coronavirus pandemic, days after Washington said it would freeze funding.

China has decided to donate additional $30 million in cash to WHO to support its global fight against #COVID19, in particular strengthening developing countries' health systems. China already donated $20 million in cash to WHO on March 11.

He added that China’s contribution to the UN agency “reflects the support and trust of the Chinese government and people for the WHO”.

China to donate another 30 mln USD supporting WHO's fight against COVID-19

China decided to donate another 30 million U.S. dollars to the World Health Organization (WHO) in support of global efforts to fight COVID-19 and the construction of public health systems in developing countries, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said here Thursday.

Spokesperson Geng Shuang told a news briefing that the WHO, led by Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, had actively fulfilled its duties with objective, science-based and fair position and played an important role in assisting countries in responding to the outbreak and boosting international cooperation on COVID-19.

Geng said to support the WHO is to defend the principles of multilateralism and safeguard the status and authority of the United Nations at a crucial time of the battle against the pandemic, adding that the virus is the common enemy of humankind, and the international community can only defeat it through unity and cooperation.

In March, China donated 20 million dollars to the WHO to support the global fight against COVID-19.

The spokesperson said China's donations to the WHO reflected the support and trust of the Chinese government and people in the organization, and China also made its own contributions to global public health and the fight against the pandemic.

"China will continue to stand in solidarity and render mutual assistance with other countries to jointly overcome the pandemic, safeguard regional and global public health and build a community with a shared future for mankind," he said.

As of Wednesday, the total confirmed COVID-19 cases around the world have topped 2.5 million, with the US and European countries being the hardest hit, while the US alone has reported over 825,000 infection cases. What are leaders and politicians of these countries doing when their homelands are suffering from the coronavirus? Are they busy flattening the curve? Given the reports of Western media outlets, this seems to not be their focus, as they are sparing more efforts to duck the responsibilities for their inability.

Over the past month, some Western politicians have been shouting more loudly than ever to demand compensation from China, as if they will manage to call white for black with their political hysteria. Since the pandemic became increasingly severer day by day in Europe and particularly in the US, some Western countries that dominate the world's public opinion have been engaging in a ridiculous show of 1,000 ways to slander China.

To steal the spotlight, a batch of Western politicians dare say anything they want and pass any legislation they wish regardless of truth or facts. They have thoroughly interpreted their deep-rooted pirate-style mentality and how it works.

These politicians have accused China of so-called disinformation and delay in information sharing, while they have been neglecting what China has been trying to share with them from the very beginning and warn them out of goodwill.

From the moves of US senators such as Tom Cotton and Josh Hawley to Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, we can see the ghosts of Western imperialists and colonialists who raided around the world, burning and looting with guns and cannons.

What if these Western countries are treated with their very own pirate-style mentality? They shall be held accountable for what humanity is suffering in the past decades, even centuries. A great number of Westerners seem to have forgotten how they managed to quickly complete the original accumulation of capital and embark on the road of leading the world's development. In the Age of Discovery, Western civilization has spread across the world and the traditional powers seized a huge amount of resources in that process. Meanwhile, diseases such as cholera, malaria, yellow fever, and smallpox brought by the West's explorers doomed aborigines in the new continents.

The 1918 influenza pandemic, the most severe pandemic in recent history, infected an estimated total of 500 million people or one-third of the world's population at that time. The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide. Some suggest the virus originated from Kansas, where it was identified in military personnel in spring 1918; while some believe New York City was the origin. If we adopt the West's above-mentioned mentality here, how dare the US not compensate the rest of the world for its failure of containing the virus within its borders?

If such mentality is justified, has the US compensated the world or at least apologized after the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic that originated from the country and resulted in an estimated range of deaths from between 151,700 and 575,400 people during the very first year the virus circulated?

There is no logic and no rationale that China has to bear infamy and compensate for mistakes it has never made. Is it that in the mind of many Westerners Chinese are born inferior to white people, so they never believe the Chinese can do anything better than them?

Things have changed in the world we are living in. Long gone are the good old times of imperialists and colonialists. If some people still uphold their political hysteria, they had better be prepared for China's counterpunch.

Accusing China of deliberately exporting COVID-19 absurd

Conspiracy theorizing of this sort deflects attention from what actually went wrong. And it fuels the demonization of the Chinese political system at the same time we need collaboration between China and the rest of the world to deal with an urgent global pandemic.

Eight Chinese doctors arrive

https://youtu.be/BIHksf1AU2k

The eight-member expert team was received by Chinese Ambassador to Malaysia Bai Tian and officials from Malaysia’s Ministry of Health upon their arrival at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

Bai said the expert team was organised by the National Health Commission of China and made up of eight individuals selected by the Guangdong Province health commission.

“They are specialised in different fields such as respirology, intensive care, psychiatry, infectious diseases, data analysis, virology and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

“Some of them had joined the fight against Covid-19 in Hubei Province,” Bai said.

He said the team will share experience and expertise on fighting Covid-19 with their Malaysian counterparts.

“This is the time when governments and the people of China and Malaysia work together and look after each other to overcome the difficulties. It also demonstrates the deep and warm relationship between China and Malaysia.

“The team will be in Malaysia for two weeks tentatively, during which they will also make a trip to Sabah and Sarawak to share their expertise,” Bai added.

The team, led by Dr Li Jun, chief physician of the Integrated Chinese and Western Emergency Medicine and vice-president of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said he felt touched by Malaysia’s warm welcome.

We’ve come here in the spirit of China’s hospitality towards Malaysia. We will make full use of our time in Malaysia and do what we can to assist Malaysia in fighting Covid-19 together,” he said.

'China experts not here to treat patients'

The team of medical experts from China will not be involved in efforts to treat Covid-19 patients in Malaysia, said Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

He said the medical professionals from China would be sharing their experiences in terms of treatment and research.

“(They will be sharing) not just their positive experiences but also perhaps issues where they have been unsuccessful in.

“We want to learn things, for example, which they have been unsuccessful in so that we do not repeat the same mistakes, ” he told reporters yesterday.

Dr Noor Hisham also said that discussions and exchanges of information on issues such as treatment of patients in the wards and intensive care units, and technical application of antigens or antibodies, was important.

Fox News’ unscrupulous manipulation should be condemned by the global press

https://youtu.be/JMj4k_rqtfQ

This week, Fox News, one of Donald Trump's favorite mouthpieces, ran a story on the conspiracy theory that claims COVID-19 was made at a laboratory in Wuhan, China.

The most shocking aspect of this theory was not how it claimed to know where the virus originated. Such misinformation has since become old news after it was dispelled by Chinese scientists and international institutions as early as February.

What's shocking is how Fox News claimed that "multiple sources" said the virus was leaked in an attempt by China to "demonstrate that its efforts to identify and combat viruses are equal to or greater than the capabilities of the United States."

Reading the report was an unbelievable experience, and not because the Fox News claim rocked my understanding of China, but how it was unfathomable that a major news outlet would make such a ridiculous claim and even take it seriously.

Did anyone at Fox News bother to read the report? China leaked the virus because it wanted to prove its system was better than the US? It sounded like something a third-grader would say.

Even though Fox News may think that all Americans are as ignorant as Trump's consultant Kellyanne Conway, who claimed the virus was the 19th version of COVID, the report is beyond ridiculous and will inspire others to wonder if there is anyone at the news outlet whose brain actually works.

Unfortunately, Fox News has an extensive fan base who wants to be coerced into believing the "China leaked virus" theory. On Twitter, some threatened to "wipe" China off the planet and posted a gif of a nuclear bomb, suggesting that China should be nuked. Such fascist behavior should come as no surprise given that Fox News and Trump's behavior often invite racist and neo-Nazis words.

Objective and intellectual thinkers do not accept Fox News claims regarding China. On the Fox News YouTube channel, many questioned their "sources," which is something Fox News refuses to address.

What's even funnier is how Trump said in 2016 that "don't believe 'sources said' by the VERY dishonest media. If they don't name the sources, the sources don't exist."

Regardless of "sources," the Fox News theory proves a concern I've had since February. Trump and his conservative allies began making remarks that COVID-19 was "just a flu" and one that would "magically disappear" due to "hot weather." Trish Regan of Fox News said the epidemic was a "scam" by Democrats to impeach Trump. Their attitudes inspired me to wonder if the coronavirus emerged in the US first, would these people treat it just like a flu, downplay its risks and even cover up the truth of this deadly pandemic?

China reported, studied, and fought the virus first, treated it as a very serious crisis, and became a whistleblower for the pandemic worldwide. China's efforts might have foiled Trump and his henchman's plan to downplay COVID-19. So, when the outbreak in the US worsened and couldn't be covered up because of information from China, Trump and his men would dislike China for revealing the true nature of COVID-19, which would also jeopardize his approval rating.

And now, in Fox News' latest false claim, one can certainly sense such a grudge against China. It is apparently a form of revenge by Trump's team as they are shamed by China.

In other words, the Fox News' conspiracy theory may have revealed how they never took COVID-19 seriously. For them and Trump, it is ultimately a political reality show for Trump's re-election so that instead of being responsible, their priorities are always to find someone to blame, be it Democrats, news media, China, or the World Health Organization.

For those who need further evidence that Trump and his puppy Fox News only care about political gain, check the internet and social media and see who is spreading misinformation and who is pretending that this is just a flu.

There is a saying on China's social media: Like idols, like fans.
