Churches are not museums that display perfect people. They are hospitals where the wounded, hurt, injured and broken find healing.

@aziemahrusidi @KKMPutrajaya @Khairykj @DrNoorAzmi @JKJAVMY Nothing concrete or made sense, just simply, "you can't do it", "this is not for you". 😂

[Karen Wong @wkaren75]

@Khairykj @KKMPutrajaya @DrNoorAzmi Axiata crowd control was a nightmare! Felt like thousands we're there. No plans, queues were without social distancing. Would've been staggered better if more planning was given. Disappointed and confused.

[Karen Wong @wkaren75]

@Khairykj @KKMPutrajaya @DrNoorAzmi I brought my 14 year old unschooled daughter this morning as I understood from the media that teens not attached to a school can walk in to the 156 PPVs from 23 Sep. Went to MBPJ, Axiata, UM and back to MBPJ , rejected by ALL PPVs, given different reasons!

[Karen Wong @wkaren75]

@KKMPutrajaya @JKJAVMY How would @JKJAVMY know to give my homeschool dependent 'an appointment'? I don't know. Please can someone tell me what to do?

[Karen Wong @wkaren75]

@KKMPutrajaya @JKJAVMY At MBPJ, we got rejected for the final time, they said only 16 to 17 yos can walk-in. I asked how about 12 to 15s, they said wait for school to arrange. I asked about homeschoolers, they have no idea. We were sent home to 'wait for an appointment' 😂😂😂

[Karen Wong @wkaren75]

@KKMPutrajaya @JKJAVMY That's not all! I went to MBPJ for a final try, hoping that they have not reached a 'quota' - which no one knows, or have any way of knowing in advance until you get there physically to find out!

[Karen Wong @wkaren75]

@KKMPutrajaya @JKJAVMY So at UM, no code to scan, just got sent home, and were asked to wait...for what, I don't really know. My daughter is a homeschooler, unregistered with any institution, I don't know what to do. @JKJAVMY pls help me understand what I missed in all your communications.

[Karen Wong @wkaren75]

@KKMPutrajaya @JKJAVMY We then decided to give UM a try. Drove all the way back to PJ. At UM, been told that 'they' had a meeting last night and they no longer accept walk-ins...But what? That's not what it's been shared to the public!

[Karen Wong @wkaren75]

@KKMPutrajaya @JKJAVMY Got to the front struggled through a crowd (no 1m distancing, no markers, or proper signposts), got to the front, and told the same thing - scan a QR code, go home and wait..!?

[Karen Wong @wkaren75]

@KKMPutrajaya @JKJAVMY Then, another RELA personnel shouted "homeschoolers queue here, follow me..." a bunch of kids and parents followed

[Karen Wong @wkaren75]

@KKMPutrajaya @JKJAVMY Got turned away initially, someone told us to scan a QR code and then go home to wait..!?

[Karen Wong @wkaren75]

@KKMPutrajaya @JKJAVMY Complete mess today! Took my homeschool 14 yo and went to MBPJ at 9am, queue was terribly long, so decided to try Arena Axiata - drove 30 minutes to get there.
At Axiata, it was more a complete disaster, RELA personnel shouting instructions.
