PETALING JAYA: Najib Razak said it is “absolutely insane” for Putrajaya to allow travellers to Malaysia to undergo home quarantine in view of the more lethal Covid-19 variants detected outside the country.
The former prime minister said the Delta Plus and Lambda variants were more dangerous than the currently dominant Delta variant.
Lambda was first identified in Peru while the Delta Plus was first identified in Europe in March and has been detected in several countries, including the United Kingdom, the US and India.
Najib said that allowing these travellers to quarantine at home would still put those who have been fully vaccinated at risk.
“The government will not lose much by instructing those who return to Malaysia to undergo quarantine at centres or hotels because they can afford it.
“But if the government intends to introduce the Lambda and Delta Plus variants, then by all means, continue with this madness.”
Earlier today, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said Malaysians and non-Malaysian residents who are fully vaccinated will only need to quarantine at home upon their return.
He said this in a televised address on the relaxation of SOP restrictions for those who have been fully vaccinated, which will take effect from Aug 10.

Jibby is dead right on this issue!
ReplyDeleteBut how could those within the corridor of power cure when they r busy fighting shipwreck rats like jibby?
M'sia would most likely going through the same stage of virus evolution like what the India has gone through.
Enough death to stabilize the spread while hope against hope that no NEW valiant could evolve out of this couldn't-care-less-while-scouting-for-political-survival opportunity.
This is only part of the karma for the evolution of the ketuanan agenda in the face of a pandemic.
The worst hit segment is always the B40, & most of them r their blurred & meme-ed sotongs!
Ha ha ha that Twit put in charge of NRP by Mahiaddin went around interviewing Toonsie and other opposition MPs kena TIPU-ed. They fed him all these silly ideas and he fell for it. He is dumber than a doorknob.
