KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysians need unity and togetherness to fight the war against Covid-19, instead of fighting against each other, said Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah. 

In a posting on his Facebook account today, Dr Noor Hisham also advised the people to learn from the Sabah state election. 

“Our frontliners have been enduring on the ground for the last 10 months 24/7. Mental and physical fatigue setting in. Some are prepared to throw in the towel. Please learn from PRN Sabah and not to be repeated,” he said. 

Meanwhile, in another posting, he asked Malaysians to be together and make the impossible possible in order to flatten the curve again. 

“It is a challenge to safeguard and strike a balance between health and economy in our ongoing war against Covid-19. A loss of balance means loss of lives and loss of livelihoods,” he added. – Bernama, October 24, 2020
