EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

– International Islamic University Malaysia, Gombak, Selangor

Malaysiakini learned that the university located in Gombak, Selangor is the higher learning institution involved in Jalan Gombak Cluster announced by the Health Ministry last week.

According to MOH press release on Feb 4, the Jalan Gombak Cluster has recorded 41 positive cases from 1,110 individuals screened for Covid-19.

When contacted today, a spokesperson for IIUM declined to comment on issues related to cluster announcement, citing that it is under the power of the health authority.

The spokesperson however could confirm that there have been several positive cases detected at the Gombak campus recently, and all individuals who were tested positive had been sent for treatment.

The university also assures that the situation in the campus is under control, with strict SOPs being implemented including implementation of no-visitor policy to prevent the spread of Covid-19 from outside into the university.

The policy of making compulsory testing on foreign workers was well-intended, albeit not thoroughly thought through. 

This is a classic case of the failure of problem-solving; when policymakers are really not well in the grasp of what they want to achieve and hence how to strategise to achieve it.

One-off testing of all workers in a workplace is a knee-jerk reaction to the call for more testings done to bend or flatten the curve. Beyond merely isolating them, once found positive, what else needed doing to ensure that the workplace, eg a factory, must not be lockdown by the authority, because of the outbreak?

What we seriously are in need of, is a program called POIS (Preventing outbreak on ignition sites) by Selangor Task Force Covid-19 (STFC).

Admittedly, many large outbreaks of Covid-19 have been reported as arising from large worker communities living in close, confined, quarters. STFC calls this “Ignition sites”.

POIS is a cross-sectoral “win-win-win” tripartite partnership between government, the private sector, and NGOs to:

• Encourage the adoption of Enhanced Public Health Measures (EPHM) by employers who have middle-large workforces.
• Strengthen an Early Detection Testing Regime (EDTR), based on rapid and frequent testing, to identify and act on potential cases as quickly as possible.
• Facilitate Health Education, especially Covid-19 related, among workers.

The key to achieving EPHM is premised on establishing “Internal bubbles” as to secure safe workplaces. A “bubble” is a group/cohort of workers, of between five to 30 persons (depending on the nature of manufacturing/construction teams, supervision required, and mix of expertise needed within a team) who are to be kept isolated, to the greatest extent possible, isolated from other workers “bubbles”. 

Each bubble will work (eg, in a designated assembly line or zone within a construction site), travel (between work and living quarters), and live (eat, sleep/rest, and play) separately from other bubbles. As far as possible, workers from different bubbles should not mix with each other at any time.

In order to minimise “external contact”, supporting services (such as catering and cleaning) and deliveries must be put in place. Avoid a situation where there are individuals who mix widely and freely across bubbles and sites and poses threat as potential “super-spreaders”. 

For catering, consider providing meal options for workers so that they will not need to source for cooked food or food ingredients from outside the site.

It is vital to achieve an early detection testing regime (EDTR). To this end, tests to be used are RTK-Ag and/or “Pooled PCR” (depending on numbers needing testing and availability of test kits) of the same “bubble”. Data and results managed by SELangkah.

To achieve “periodic and high-frequency testing”, POIS will involve periodic testing (ideally, but not strictly, two-weekly) of workers who are potential “super-spreaders”, ie those who are more likely than average to be mingling with many different people within the site and/or those working in crowded ie multi-taskers who have to work across “bubbles” – cleaning crew, canteen crew.

Finally, POIS advocates the component of “health education”. In collaboration with NGOs and other partners, printable posters and mobile phone deployable Covid-19 risk communications and other relevant material will be adapted (from existing materials) and/or developed in various languages.

To enhance the ability to continue learning and adapting, the EPHM and EDTR are subject to organic revision from time-to-time based on evidence and feedback from stakeholders. Regular feedback and performance meetings are organised to improve and adapt this programme over the course of the pandemic, with participant employers invited to partake and provide useful feedback.

Preventing outbreaks and securing “safe workplaces” requires more than just one-off testing of foreign workers to determine their “Covid-19 status”. 

Besides getting the buy-in of the “stakeholders” and owners of industries, STFC wishes to share and offer POIS to the Health Ministry and federal government, along with the other states governments.

‘For personal reasons, I will not be participating in any reunion dinners this year.’

Family reunion rules relaxed as NSC updates CNY SOP yet again

Coward: What can I say about the original standard operating procedure (SOP) for this week’s Chinese New Year celebrations?

Too many bad things. It was beyond a laughing stock. So much so that I am actually ashamed for the government that it actually presented the SOP.

It makes a mockery of understanding the culture of different races. My Malay and Indian colleagues and I exhibit an understanding of each other’s culture way better than the SOP implied.

The document (original SOP) actually shows signs that there had been consultation with Chinese associations.

Unfortunately, it also shows no sign that the government understands what they were told. Instead, it chooses to lobotomise words from the consultation just to show that they consulted. This is classic bureaucratic nonsense.

Obviously, they did not bother to go back to talk to the associations after the first consultation.

The errors in the document are so bad that the attempt to blame the Chinese associations backfired – there was no way anyone believed they were properly consulted.

Worst of all, nobody bothers to proofread the document. Otherwise, a lot of contradictions in the document would have been caught.

The minister had been incompetent. At the minimum, he should have read the document of such importance with a critical mind. He didn’t.

In all, what we see is bureaucracy at its worst, it is doing a job without care over the outcome. It shows how out of touch the government is with the people.

Ace: Actually, most Chinese are not against the stricter SOP and not gathering for the family reunion dinner. However, what is objected to is the condescending way the authorities put it.

Whether it is the reunion dinner or visits on the first day, second day or the eighth day of Chinese New Year, just say “stay within 10km”, “don’t cross borders or districts”, “maximum 10 persons”, etc. And you can only go out of your house to purchase essential necessities. All will be happy with that, CNY or no CNY.

It is an insult to our intelligence and to the public that we need the government’s permission to take our reunion dinner if it is just for family members staying in the same house as it will be just like any other dinner!

Must we get their permission to brush our teeth too?

Cocomomo: The younger ones, who may be asymptomatic or more resistant as their immune systems are stronger, should avoid visiting their elderly parents and grandparents.

Love your family members by not visiting them and putting them at risk. Use technology instead, for example, online get-togethers.

Avoid creating CNY clusters. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

Ipoh PP: They opened up for Christmas in late December and the New Year on Jan 1, and it led to a rise in Covid-19 cases. Now with the rumble and unhappiness, they have opened the floodgates for CNY.

People can’t even make the sacrifice of not meeting up just for once. They have to meet up and eat together. Come on, while these are traditions but in a pandemic like this, we need to give up some of our traditions for everyone’s betterment and safety.

Since the Chinese community is not prepared to make the little sacrifice, let us wait for 10 to 12 days from CNY day. Believe me, there will be a rise, and Covid-19 will be out of control!

Another Clown: For personal reasons, I will not be participating in any reunion dinners this year.

But to all those soothsayers who anticipate a hike in cases after the reunion dinners, please share the theoretical framework of your analysis.

Who has proof as to the real reasons for the hike in cases in January 2021? I read that some were due to the delayed reporting from December.

Have we also looked at the graphs for our immediate neighbours, Thailand and Indonesia? Both share a similar pattern like Malaysia – a huge hike in December and January.

Singapore initially allowed up to 100 people in each church congregation in early October and allowed up to 250 people to convene in some churches during Christmas, and yet the nation has the lowest cases in this region.

Read that again, 250 people! Their government must be doing something right that our government isn’t.

So, I will say to all and sundry, take the necessary precautions whether or not you are having reunion dinners. Ensure social distancing, wear masks and wash your hands.

ScarletGopher9210: Next time, leaders need to be mindful and understand other races’ cultures.

There are many reasons why Malaysia must have a multiracial government – this is just one of them and mind you, there are plenty of benefits for having so.

It’s about doing what’s right and at the same time being respectful/understanding of all races/religions.

Oct: Why can’t the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government practise the philosophy of “doing things right, the first time”? We have seen many pushing different SOPs even though they have one plus year of experience.

Their heads must be very dense. There is no empathy as well. Overall, none of the ministers has done any work beyond the call of duty. Most of them are earning ‘gaji buta’.

Johanian2: I think the government did the right thing by listening to the grouses and the new guideline for CNY’s eve reunion is acceptable.

Let’s not point to other flaws at this point and be happy with what we can do. Everyone has to make sacrifices.

Discussions on other flaws can wait. Maybe after CNY, as businesses will be allowed to open. But that is for another discussion down the road.
