It happened two days ago. Morning. Already received rumours of a possible lockdown. Mew Choo made a list of whatever necessary for 2 weeks. Some 5 chickens, some vege, a bag of rice, two dozens of eggs, 2 packs of instant noodles, a cooking oil and one packet of toilet rolls.
I reached the nearest supermarket. Oh my, many aunties dashing the store with overflow shopping trollies. The anxiousness creeped in as if my first Olympics years ago. Situation was crazy. Fortunately, I managed to gather wife’s list, except for one. The toilet paper! There were people pushing trolleys with 10 bags of toilet papers! How many buttholes one needs to wash with that many? (Toilet papers are important during previous pandemic period due to unclean water and psychological effect)
Magically, a gentle voice from behind greeted “Lee, you can take this pack. I took two just now and you know I don’t use it to wash”. It was Nazir, a friend who stays nearby. We laughed and joked a little. Noting more trolleys sprinters ambushing the store, I sped off as soon as I could, knowing that the pandemic is highly contagious.
My friends. I know we are facing an unprecedented crisis. Please do store food. But don’t store like there is no tomorrow. More importantly, stay home! Treat as though you yourself are carrying the virus, don’t go back to your hometown to your parents. Stay home! If you don’t, your love ones will die!
We Malaysians are better than this. I know Malaysians and the whole world will win this war. And it will be easier if we work together.
Lastly my upmost appreciation the frontliners like the doctors, nurses, hospital staffs, supermarket cashiers etc. You risk your lives so we can live ours. Chong Wei bow to you guys. Thank you.

Dua hari lepas, ada khabar angin restriction order berkenaan coronavirus ni. So Mew Choo pon suruh pergi beli ape yg patut untuk 2 minggu ni. Wife add maths lagi terrer, so ikot shopping list wife. Family 4 orang, ayam 5 ekor, beras 1 bag, sayur 2 minggu, Maggie 2 pack, telor 2 dozen, buah, toilet paper 1 bag.
Tapi time I sampai supermarket, aduhai! Ramainyer auntie2 makcik2, macam lumba marathon trolly! Kalah Khairul Jantan! Nasib baik sempat lagi kumpul shopping list wife. Tapi toilet paper I terlambat. Ternganga I tgk mamat depan I tapao 10 bag tisu jamban! Banyaknyer jubur kat rumah. (I ingat masa dulu dalam situasi wabak yg bahaya, air paip pon akan jadi bahaya. Itu sebab tisu tandas jadi penting.)
Datang satu suara menyeru dari belakang, ”Lee, nah amik bag ni. I terambik 2. Tadi tgk sumer rebut tapao wa pon terikot amik extra, ntah kenape, bukan I pakai untuk basuh pon!“ Dia Nazir, sahabat yang tinggal berhampiran. Kita tergelak and catch up sket. Selepas tu, makin ramai gangster trolly serbu, I pon terus cabut, sebab I tau virus ni merebak mudah.
Kawan sekalian, saya berharap agar jangan cemas menghadapi krisis ini. Simpanlah makanan tapi berpatutanlah bilangannya. Dan I minta tolong semua duduk di rumah jgn keluar sementara ni. Jangan balik kampong macam cuti raya. Ko mungkin ok, tapi yg mati nnt orang tersayang.
Percayalah, mimpi ngeri ini akan berakhir. Jangan panic. Kita warga Malaysia tak kira bangsa dan agama berganding bahu, bertolak ansur, tolong menolong, hari itu akan sampai dengan lebih cepat.
Kepada frontliners, para doctor, missi, kakitangan hospital dan juga cashier pasaraya yang terus berkhidmat dalam masa ini. Terimalah tunduk kehormatan dari saya!
Cara paling baik kita membalas budi dan bersumbang, is to #STAYHOME
