@_raveenarakni@germainepym honestly i can’t even sleep in peace without y’all talking shit absolute NONSENSE also last time i remember some things were said about an america trip hmmmm weird
This is actually quite catastrophic.
To give everyone a sense of the scale:
- 50% of working Malaysians earned less than RM2,062 a month in 2020.
- the income drop from 2019 to 2020 has set incomes back ~10 years if you take into account inflation rates.
Are medical students who are working in hospitals not eligible for vaccines? @Khairykj@JKJAVMY
I’ve got a friend who’s been working at a hospital for the last few months but hasn’t got the vaccine. Are we really neglecting these frontliners???
to sum up final year at NUMed:
- 14 exams in 9 months
- inconsistent access to teaching and wards
- lockdowns
- 0 vaccinations
- 0 vacation breaks
- ≥6 months of not seeing family for many

This is what happens when people who do not take public transport, who are privileged, & who are disconnected from our everyday realities, design these SOPs.
Instead of protecting us, the SOPs make us more vulnerable and at risk.
BTW this happened the last time too.

Just because it occurred behind closed doors with a rubber hose, doesn't make it any less brutal than if it were to have been in broad daylight with a knee on a man's neck.
Police brutality is police brutality.

A. Ganapathy’s death is a reflection of the Malaysian society that is haunted by police brutality.
We cannot let his story to be another tragedy for us to brush off and move on. This incident demands a change.
