Big jump in Covid-19 cases in Malaysia

The Wuhan coronavirus continues to plague our shores, with seven new Covid-19 cases being reported yesterday. It’s the biggest jump in a single day – and we don’t even have a health minister now! It’s now 36 cases in Malaysia, following a global trend of rapidly escalating infections outside of China.

Meanwhile, just in: The first Parliament session for the year will convene on May 18 instead of March 9 as initially scheduled. BTL will have more on that tomorrow. In other news, our political imbroglio continues to hog the headlines, while we hear testimony from Jho Low himself (well, not in person) about his role (or lack thereof, he claims) in the billions we lost through SRC International and 1MDB.
