Paku Midin: On 'Stupid' Policies & SOPs Of COVID-19

MP SPEAKS

In his public address yesterday on television (May 23, 2021) and through social media, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said that it was okay for the public to scold "Stupid Prime Minister".

I'm not sure if the PM was trying to score sympathy points with the public but I don't think this is an appropriate public response to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases in Malaysia. Please don't blame the public for being frustrated if the policies or standard operating procedures (SOPs) announced by certain ministers are seen as "STUPID".

For example, in the latest tightening of the movement control order (MCO) 3.0, the following three policied do not make sense to me and probably to the larger public as well.

Firstly, the restriction on businesses including eateries to operate only until 8 pm at night. This will have the effect of making people crowd at the restaurants and mamak stores which are doing take away close to the closing time of 8 pm. At the same time, it will also endanger the food deliverers on motocycles (Food Panda and Grab Food, just to name two of the more popular food delivery options) as they rush to fulfill the final orders nearing 8 pm. Why not extend the operating hours of restaurants for the take out option until 10 pm so that such a rush does not occur just before 8 pm? Pardon my language, this is a really stupid policy or SOP.

Secondly, reducing the capacity of public transportation by 50 percent will increase the crowding effect of those taking public transport. This will increase the probability of COVID-19 spreading, especially if physical distancing is not possible in crowded public transportation options such as the LRT, MRT and buses especially in the Klang Valley.

Thirdly, reducing the civil service capacity to just 20 percent will likely increase the queues and waiting lines for those who have no choice but to go to government offices to process documents, pay fees and other government related transactions, especially if they don't have the capacity to do all of these things online!
