Ahli MT UMNO dilapor postif COVID-19 selepas berkempen di Sipitang

Seorang pemimpin UMNO dilaporkan positif COVID-19 selepas berkempen di kawasan Parlimen Sipitang.

Memetik laporan sebuah portal tempatan, Ahli Majlis Tertinggi UMNO itu kini sedang menjalani kuarantin wajib bagi mendapatkan rawatan susulan.

Laporan yang memetik sumber itu memaklumkan beliau telah dimasukkan ke hospital bagi mendapatkan rawatan.

“Setakat ini, keadaan masin terkawal dan beliau telah dimasukkan ke hospital sebentar tadi bagi dikurantinkan bagi mendapatkan rawatan,” kata sumber itu ringkas.

Sumber turut menjelaskan semua kontak rapat pemimpin UMNO itu juga telah diminta untuk melakukan ujian swab bagi mengelakkan sebarang penularan.

Menteri Kanan Keselamatan, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, bagaimanapun berkata tiada laporan rasmi yang diterima setakat ini.

Namun tegas beliau, jika ia benar dan didapati positif, individu itu perlu dikuarantin di Sabah sehingga pulih sepenuhnya.

“Saya belum dapat laporan lagi mengenai hal itu. Jika ada, perlu dirawat sehingga pulih sebelum pulang ke Semenanjung.

“Sebab itu saya sentiasa pesan patuhi prosedur operasi standard (SOP) yang dikeluarkan kerajaan,” katanya.

Ismail Sabri turut menegaskan Jawatan Kuasa Kabinet akan membincangkan isu keselamatan dan kesihatan di Sabah menjelang Pilihan Raya Negeri (PRN), Selasa depan.

Consider This: Transnational Repression (Part 2) — Are Our Governments Enabling It?

Authoritarian regimes don’t stop at their own borders—often reaching across countries to track, detain, and deport refugees, activists, and migrants. This is transnational repression: when a state extends its repression beyond its own beyond their borders to control or punish its citizens abroad. Malaysia and Thailand, two of Southeast Asia’s biggest hubs for migrants and refugees, have become key battlegrounds for transnational repression. With Malaysia helming ASEAN chair this year, what role does the region play in resisting, or enabling, transnational repression? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Krittaporn Semsantad, Programme Director at the Bangkok-based Peace Rights Foundation.
