As the Covid-19 outbreak continues to grip the world, and the governments and peoples of all nations struggle to defeat the pandemic, a group of organisations and politicians have emerged expressing dissatisfaction over the government’s refusal to allow vessels shipping Rohingya refugees to dock on our shores. In fact, these groups even accuse Malaysia of breaching international and national obligations.

The global Covid-19 pandemic has entered a severe period, and not a lull. In the face of this contagion, the movements of Malaysians and residents in Malaysia have been restricted for more than a month. Our economy has been terribly battered, and the common layperson is likewise badly affected. Through public cooperation, the number of cases diagnosed positive has slipped to double digits. All medical, military and police personnel and other frontliners are battling strenuously each day, risking their lives.
