Laksanakan ‘Lockdown’ Penuh Sekarang – Mohamad Hasan

KUALA LUMPUR, 28 Mei – Timbalan Pengerusi Barisan Nasional (BN), Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan menggesa perintah sekatan menyeluruh dilaksanakan serta-merta bagi menangani keadaan wabak COVID-19 yang semakin buruk.

“Kini waktu yang mendesak dan kita perlukan langkah terdesak juga,” kata Mohamad, yang juga dikenali dengan panggilan Tok Mat hari ini.

Katanya, jelas perintah kawalan pergerakan (PKP) pertama dan kedua tidak berkesan.

Sepanjang minggu lepas, lebih 50 orang menemui ajal setiap hari akibat COVID-19.

Semalam, Kementerian Kesihatan (KKM) melaporkan 7,857 jangkitan baharu, iaitu satu rekod baharu dalam tempoh seminggu yang turut mencatatkan beberapa rekod lain.

Mohamad berkata, beliau bimbang sistem kesihatan negara akan lumpuh.

Beliau berkata, proses vaksinasi tidak cukup pantas dan cara terbaik untuk memutuskan rantaian jangkitan ialah melalui penguatkuasaan perintah sekatan menyeluruh.

Katanya, PKP yang pertama membuktikan hakikat itu.

Menurut laporan portal itu lagi negeri Victoria di Australia, melaksanakan perintah sekatan menyeluruh selama tujuh hari selepas 26 kes jangkitan direkodkan.

“Kes kita lebih banyak lagi, dan kita sedang bergelut dengannya. Kita perlukan perintah sekatan yang menyeluruh dan teliti sekurang-kurangnya selama tiga minggu seperti PKP pertama.

“Jika kita perlu meminjam duit bagi membantu perniagaan dan rakyat, maka kita perlu buat.”

Beliau berkata, bantuan itu termasuklah moratorium pinjaman, subsidi upah dan bantuan tunai, terutama kepada golongan miskin.

Mohamad juga menggesa supaya proses semakan dan kelulusan vaksin dipercepatkan, terutama yang telah diluluskan oleh Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO).

“Kerajaan harus membenarkan sektor swasta mendapatkan bekalan vaksin supaya golongan yang mampu dan bersedia membayar kosnya boleh pergi ke sana,” katanya.

“Ini akan mempercepatkan proses vaksinasi.”

Katanya, apabila angka jangkitan menurun, kerajaan boleh menimbangkan untuk membuka semula ekonomi secara berperingkat dengan pemantauan ketat.
Mohamad juga berkata, Putrajaya mesti menguatkuasakan peraturan Covid-19 dengan saksama tanpa amalan dwistandard. – BN Online

Implement full lockdown NOW, says Mohamad Hasan

KUALA LUMPUR, May 28 – Barisan Nasional (BN) deputy chairman Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan has called for an immediate total lockdown to address the worsening Covid-19 pandemic.
“It’s an urgency now and we need desperate measures,” he said today.
The Umno Deputy President also said it was clear that the first and second movement control orders (PKP) were not effective. Over the past week, more than 50 people died every day as a result of the pandemic.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) reported 7,857 new infections yesterday, a new record within a week.
Mohamad said he is worried that the country’s health system would be paralyzed because the vaccination process is not fast enough and the best way to break the chain of infection is through the enforcement of a comprehensive restraining order.
He said the first PKP proved it. The state of Victoria in Australia implemented a 7-day lockdown after 26 cases of new infection were recorded.
“We have more cases and we are struggling with them. We need a stringent control order for at least three weeks like the first MCO. If we need to borrow money to help businesses and the people, then we need to do it.”
He said the assistance included a moratorium on loans, wage subsidies and cash assistance, especially to the poor.
Mohamad also called for the vaccination review and approval process to be expedited, especially those that have been approved by the World Health Organization (WHO).
“The government should allow the private sector to get the supply of vaccines so that those who can afford it and are willing to pay the cost can go there. This will speed up the vaccination.”
He said when the infection rate declined, the government could consider reopening the economy in stages with strict monitoring.
Mohamad also said Putrajaya must enforce the Covid-19 rules fairly without any double-standard practices.
