I am compelled to air my views during this unprecedented situation regarding COVID-19. I wonder why Brunei Darussalam has not implemented ‘Movement Control’ similar to Malaysia and China. China has shown that early preventive measures such as ‘Movement Control’ can help control the virus.

Brunei is a small country and this can be done easily. Other methods such as self-isolation, quarantine and social distancing might work but from what I have seen, people are still not adhering to this.

‘Movement Control’ can ensure that people stay at home and not spread the virus. I feel it will give Bruneians mental relief as we know that there will be success at the end of the day. Money can be earned, shops can be reopened and education can be delayed but life is not replaceable.

For the greater good
