  • Where is our health minister on this rising cases in the Klang Valley which is also the nation capital. What are the causes, what rectification action, what follow up actions, what are you doing to bring the cases down??? How did we end up this way??? Or are you busy in splitting the MOH contracts to your kind of people??? Jangan makan gaji buta la, malu la sikit.
