Only immediate family allowed at burial grounds during MCO: Tosrin

JOHOR BARU: Only immediate family members are allowed to accompany a body when it is taken to a Muslim cemetery, in efforts to contain Covid-19 virus, during the Movement Control Order (MCO) which has been extended until April 14.

Johor Islamic Religious Affairs Committee chairman Tosrin Jarvanthi said this is one of the guidelines which the close relatives must abide by, in the event of a death in the family, including Covid-19 related death, in which case the nearest police station and district health office must be informed.

“Taking into account the current Covid-19 situation and the views of the Ministry of Health, the next-of-kin must adhere to the guidelines applicable to all government and kariah muslim burial grounds,“ he told reporters, here today.

Also present were Johor Islamic Religious Council (MAINJ) advisor Datuk Noh Gadut, Johor mufti Datuk Yahya Ahmad, Johor Islamic Religious Department (JAINJ) director Datuk Md Rofiki Samsudin and MAINJ chief executive officer Datuk Mohd Noh Ibrahim.

Apart from that, Tosrin said those attending the funeral should disperse immediately after the talkin has been recited by the imam.

“They must also wear a mask, wash their hands with sanitisers and practice social distancing by keeping a distance of at least one metre, use other personal protective equipment if necessary, and no body contact or hand shakes are allowed,” he said.

He said while the MCO is being enforced, relatives and family members are only allowed to be at the burial ground when the funeral rites are being performed.

In another development, Tosrin called on Muslims in the state to perform the Amalan Johor Bermunajat special prayers in their homes, beginning from tomorrow until April 4, to seek protection from Allah SWT in efforts to contain Covid-19.

He said the Qunut Nazilah is to be recited during maghrib prayers, which is to be followed by solat hajat (prayer of need) and recitation of Surah Yasin and tahlil until it is time for Isyak prayers.

“The Qunut Nazilah should also be recited when performing Isyak prayer. After the recitation of Surah Al-Mulk, Selawat Kamilah and Asmaul Husna make a special prayer seeking Allah‘s mercy and bounty to keep us safe and relieve us from the pandemic,“ he added.

According to Tosrin, the guidelines for the Amalan Johor Bermunajat, would be uploaded onto JAINJ Facebook, while a live streaming of the prayers performed by Sultan Abu Bakr Mosque officials, would be broadcast via Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque Facebook soon after the call for maghrib prayers tomorrow.

In another development Noh Gadut encouraged Muslims to perform the funeral prayer in absentia for those who died from Covid-19 infection.

“In view of the MCO ruling to curb the spread of Covid-19, once we are aware of a death and the remains will be laid to rest, perform the funeral prayers at home,” he said. – Bernama

“You are all idiots”, woman shouts at Ops Covid roadblock personnel

PETALING JAYA: For calling a group of police personnel and soldiers manning a roadblock in Kota Damansara “idiots”, a 44-year-woman landed herself in hot soup with the authorities Tuesday morning.

The sales manager’s temper apparently flared after she was caught in heavy traffic for more than an hour due to the Ops Covid roadblock to enforce the movement control order (MCO) at Persiaran Surian.

It is learnt that the single woman was on her way back home to her apartment which is situated opposite the roadblock site.

At about 9.40am, when she finally made it out of the traffic congestion, she wound down her car window and allegedly shouted at police, “You are all idiots”.

Petaling Jaya police chief ACP Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal, who was also present at the roadblock at the time, said the woman was arrested for provocation and taken to the Damansara police station for investigations.

He said apart from uttering harsh words at the police, the woman also questioned the need for a roadblock in the area.

“We may be idiots but we are idiots who have your very safety in our minds and hearts. We are sorry for causing you such inconvenience but we have a job to do, which is keeping you safe. That is all we want to do. I am sorry,” said Nik Ezanee, who appeared disappointed with the indifferent attitude of certain members of the public towards the seriousness of police in containing movement in the district.

The district of Petaling is listed as the top red zone for the Covid-19 contamination, with over 220 cases of infected persons being the highest recorded in the country.

As such, Petaling Jaya police are taking a stern and uncompromising stance in controlling the spread of the virus.

A week after the MCO was initially enforced on March 18, Petaling Jaya police dropped its soft approach on those who flouted the order and began making arrests.

Since March 25, more than 83 people have been arrested in the district and several have been charged in court.

Coronavirus: Shehu Sani Says Nigerians May Die Of Hunger Over Lockdown

A former lawmaker representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Shehu Sani, has called on both the federal and state governments to roll out palliatives to mitigate the effect of the Coronavirus lockdown in most parts of the country.

Sani said the country may witness a situation where citizens would be dying of hunger and starvation after exhausting what they had stockpiled at home.

He added that the situation may lead to an uprising and total breakdown of law and order in an attempt for survival.

Sani said, “When the stock of food and water in the homes of people are exhausted, there will be nothing else left to fear and no law and directives left to obey.”

WHEN the stock of food and water in the homes of the people are exhausted,there will be nothing else left to fear and no law or directives left to be obeyed.

The senator called for urgent measures to cushion the effect of the restriction on movement for the masses.

“This is followed by Samarahan with 16 areas, Miri (nine), Betong (six), Limbang (six) and Bintulu (five),” he told a press conference on the development of Covid-19 at Wisma Bapa Malaysia here, today.

Police close four roads in PJ

KUALA LUMPUR: Police today closed four roads in the Petaling Jaya area under the Movement Control Order (MCO).

They are Jalan 5/46 Gasing Indah (Petaling Jaya); Jalan Persiaran Mahogani (Section 9); Jalan Persiaran Jati (Section 8); and Jalan Persiaran Sungai Buloh (TSB) in Kota Damansara.

Petaling Jaya District Police chief ACP Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal said the closures were to control the movement of residents and reduce the risk of Covid-19 infection.

He said motorists could use alternative routes like Jalan Pantai-New Pantai Expressway (NPE), Jalan Persiaran Kenanga-Kota Damansara Toll, Jalan Persiaran Surian-Palm Spring Kota Damansara and Jalan Persiaran Tropicana-Casa Tropicana.

“After 11 days of the MCO, we found that people are beginning to get used to it and becoming more responsible, although there are defiant individuals who used alternative routes to avoid the six road blocks that have been set up,” he said in a statement today, adding that the road closures were being carried out after reviewing the Health Ministry’s infection trend and statistics.

He, however, said that the closed roads could still be accessed by ambulances, police vehicles and those from the Fire and Rescue Department and Petaling Jaya City Council.

“We suggest that those affected by the closures obey the MCO and be patient in facing the difficulties in a bid to stem the spread of the virus,” he said, adding that four personnel would be stationed at each road closure for 24 hours daily. — Bernama
