16 Jul 2021 Today is the 14th day, last day of lockdown at the localities with imposed EMCO. It happened since 3 July 2021, when my residential building (only 1 of the 8 buildings in this area) was imposed with lockdown due to high covid cases. 14 days of "journey". It began on Saturday,3 July midnight when armies came and installed barbered wires surroundings the building and the staircases. Midnight, a lot of huu-haa, cursing from the tenants can be heard. Early in the morning, tried luck to go out to buy essential breakfast and was told to stay at home as we will be given food later. Later in afternoon, read news and a lot of people kepochi because installing barbed wires on the staircases is considered as harmful and is an ignorant to the safety of the tenants in events of emergency. This resulted the armies moved the barbered wires to outside surroundings of the buildings instead. Day 3 of lockdown, it's Monday and I was bringing my dependents to vaccination center. A lot of rumors that those under localities will be denied rights for going out to be vaccinated as KKM will be coming to give us vaccination instead. This is not true. The polices are helpful and friendly. We went out, showing MySej to the polices at guardpoint, write our name and NRIC No and signed in and out. That's all we did. On the same day, we get the dry food distributed by the KKM and the PPR community members. Day by day, the SOP was being enhanced. Tenants were allowed to do online purchase and the date of recipient from 12pm to 5pm. As long you are loaded with money, there is no worry that you will run out of food or whatever money can buy. I was supposed to go to work on this day. I showed the polices my company MITI letter and surat perlepasan from the company but was denied to go out. According to the polices, only the staffs of public safety and security and healthcare are allowed to go out. The PPR community prepared an official letter to show cause of absent to the company. Day 7. Today KKM came and did a mass swab to the tenants. Few of KKM staffs came and asked few questions regarding health status, close contact etc. According to him, only those with symptoms are required to go down for swab. I asked if can voluntarily go down for swab but he repeated only those with symptoms and gone. You see. We got this Facebook community group for PPR. Inside the group got a lot of photos. In exchange for the food, we allowed the community to take our picture receiving the food. I noticed there some neighbours with their picture and statements "3 orang anak OKU, mak cacat etc". I wonder... Fast forward last day of the lockdown. Nothing much changed actually and kinda disappointed with the attitude of some tenants and SOP imposed. There are few I noticed that did not follow to the SOP imposed like 3 orens vaping outside chit chating.... There's a sundry shop below my building and the staff was infected with the covid. The family members still operating it after sanitization.
Anyway since today the last day, I will just enjoy the process. I am expecting a scream of joy will be heard by 12am. #sekian #kthxbye
