Coronavirus breaking records in the worst possible way
The novel coronavirus is still hogging the vast majority of the news both overseas and here, so the major part of our focus today remains on this current blight which has already killed 131 (and rising fast!) and infected more than 4,000 people. Three new cases have popped up in Malaysia and there have been new reports from our neighbours both south and north of us.
In other news, Malaysia has had its share of the scare from the new coronavirus from China; and, Jibby Razak denies appointing former AG Apandi Ali to the board of Tabung Haji as a reward for clearing him of wrongdoings.
And to all our readers who celebrate the Lunar New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai! May the year of the metal rat bring you prosperity and happiness!
