Since early this year, Malaysia quantity of Covid case has risen to highest 5k++ per day, the quantity of confirmed case has now marked lowest since the peak day of 5k++ cases.
But what does the lower number means to us?
The lower confirmed quantity of cases doesn't reflect the covid situation, and it does not show if the situation is improving. Since 16 Feb, quantity of covid tests performed has been become lower from 40k-60k to today's 27k per day.

| Test quantity 40k++ since 16th Feb 2021 |
The quantity of confirmed covid case of 1,529 doesn't reflect if the situation is improving. The number can be obviously affecting the number of confirmed case outcome.
From the tables below, today's infectivity rate of 5.5% is still about the same as in January where we had daily 3k above of confirmed cases. With this rate figure is a better way to get the public informed about the level of severity. People tend to feel relieved when they see the 1,529 figure while the severity remain the same as when we have daily confirmed cases exceed 3k.

Nowadays, vaccine has just arrived 2 weeks ago, vaccination has been started for frontliner, there is still a long wait before the public can get access get inoculated.
Nobody can clearly see who or which group of people get the vaccination first (we know those politicians has quickly get themselves inoculated with the 98% effective pfizer vaccine), and we the public could only know who get vaccinated from the news. For those aren't reported by the news media, nobody know how many vaccine left and how many are still not vaccinated yet.
No sign of action from current ruling party to make thing transparent...
However, all school has now mostly reopened, and I has no idea how they decide to reopen school while the daily confirmed case remain so high. There is no clear indicator showing us in regards to how is the vaccination progress doing... How many percent of Malaysian has been inoculated?
OK, now school reopened, parents are happy because their children can now leave them and they finally get to breath peacefully (phew... kid is annoying......?). Company start rushing employee back to work in the office. People tend have day out forming unnecessary crowd in the public in relief and believing arrival of vaccine solve the pandemic, treating it like pandemic has over.
The public hasn't been educated enough about what it means by "vaccine has arrived in Malaysia".
The public is concerned about not be able to get the pfizer vaccine, and they pray hard they are not getting the China vaccine, because they're not confident with it.
What has Perikatan Nasional done about this?
Me as a normal citizen has no idea what this group of people are doing, all we all can see is they are siphoning resources off our tax payer pocket. For eg, able to go on-leave and fly to New Zealand for visiting family during travel restriction and full lockdown (MCO) where none can leave house more than 10km or be fined with RM1,000 (and RM10,000 starting 11th March), frontliner can't get on-leave to defend the covid tragedy.
