And we, Malaysians, have been rest-assured that safety measures had been taken since the first outbreak. Yeah~! Maybe. If it was true, then there should be no cases of A(H1N1) in this country now or at least the cases of it should not be on rise like what is going on to date. it seems that our government looks at this "problem" lightly. It seems that our government is so confident that no serious cases of H1N1 will ever occur in this country after successfully managed to be "clean" from the SARS virus outbreak few years ago. (Hey! I am not saying anything that is prejudicial to the national security. In fact what I am trying to say here is about something that you (government) should be considering right now whether you are doing your job efficiently and with dedication like what some of the ministers said publicly in the local dailies~!).
Dont believe me...please have some time to read the news which I have taken from The Star Online at www.thestar.com.my, which is, I believe, self-explanatory.

No wonder A (H1N1) cases are on the rise
I WAS made to understand, through media reports, that health screening has been put in place at all entry points into the country. To my disappointment, this is not true!
Last Sunday, my colleagues and I returned from Singapore via the Second Link. At the Tuas checkpoint, we cleared Immigration and Customs. However, there was no health screening on the thousands who entered Malaysia via the checkpoint.
This was in total contrast with what we experienced when we entered Singapore. The authorities there did their parts right.
The Malaysian authorities need to buck up or we will be faced with more people coming down with the A (H1N1) influenza.
