    Malaysia gets special consideration in Singapore’s new travel restrictions 1

    SINGAPORE: The new border restrictions on travellers including those from Asean do not include Singapore’s sea and land crossings with Malaysia, meaning Malaysians and Singaporeans can commute from both sides as usual.

    Singapore’s Co-chair of the Multi-Ministry Taskforce on Covid-19, Lawrence Wong, said while the order applies to the whole of Asean, a separate arrangement has been worked out for Malaysia through the bilateral joint working group.

    Special considerations have been put in for Malaysia because of the close proximity and high interdependency between both countries.

    “We do need precautions to be taken, given the high volume of people and vehicles moving in and out of these checkpoints,” he said today when announcing the additional measures that Singapore would be taking on the Covid-19 situation starting midnight on Monday.

    Effective March 16, 2020, 2359 hours, all travellers entering Singapore with recent travel history to Asean countries, Japan, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom within the last 14 days will be issued with a 14-day Stay-Home Notice (SHN).

    Wong, who is also the National Development Minister, said that on land crossing alone 200,000 people move across the checkpoints daily and the imposition of a 14-day SHN requirement would be very difficult and very disruptive for both countries.

    “So the 14-day requirement will not be practical for these travellers and we need to look at other precaution like checking their health. So discussions are ongoing between the two sides,” he said.

    The latest travel order applies to Singapore residents, long-term pass holders, and short-term visitors as well but not those transiting in Singapore without leaving the transit area.

    In addition, they will have to provide proof of the place where they will serve the 14-day SHN, for example a hotel booking covering the entire period, or a place of residence they or their family members own.

    They may also be swabbed for testing for Covid-19, even if asymptomatic because of the risk of community transmission in the countries of their origin and evidence of cases that have been imported from these countries into Singapore.

    In addition to the SHN requirement, from March 16, 2020, 2359 hours, all short-term visitors who are nationals of any Asean country will have to submit requisite information on their health to the Singapore Overseas Mission in the country they are resident before their intended date of travel.

    The submission will have to be approved by Singapore’s Ministry of Health (MOH) before travel to Singapore, and the approval will be verified by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officers at the Singapore checkpoints.

    Short-term visitors who arrive in Singapore without the necessary approval will be denied entry into Singapore and they are therefore advised to secure the approval before making definitive travel bookings. — Bernama

    Singaporeans should avoid overseas travel, government says 2

    SINGAPORE: Singapore’s health ministry on Sunday urged its citizens to defer all non-essential travel abroad in an unprecedented move for the Asian transport hub, as part of new measures to control the coronavirus that is fast spreading around the world.

    Singapore will also tell all entering the country with recent travel history to the Asean group of nations, Japan, Switzerland or the United Kingdom to quarantine themselves at their place of residence for 14 days, the ministry added.

    The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) comprises Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia and Vietnam.

    Countries, such as the UK and Switzerland have “abandoned” any attempt at containing the spread of the infection, said Lawrence Wong, a minister who co-heads Singapore’s virus fighting taskforce.

    “That’s why we are more concerned that Singapore may well be exposed to a new wave of infections, which is potentially larger than what we have seen previously.”

    The majority of new infections being reported in Singapore, an island nation with a population of 5.7 million, over the past few days have been people returning from overseas rather than local transmissions.

    At least five cases of Singaporeans have been linked to a large religious gathering in Malaysia that was attended by more than 10,000 people from several countries.

    Short-term visitors who are nationals of its Southeast Asian neighbours will also have to seek prior approval from the health ministry before their journey to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed.

    The restriction comes after a number of cases that entered Singapore with the specific purpose of seeking healthcare, the health ministry said. There have been two cases of Indonesians who had coronavirus symptoms at home before arriving in Singapore, known for its superior healthcare facilities.

    The measures will be reviewed after a month. They will not apply to sea and land crossings with Malaysia, which will have separate precautions. Wong said 300,000 people a day move across the land checkpoints with Malaysia.

    The Asian travel hub has previously announced bans on visitors from several coronavirus-hit countries, including China, Italy and France.

    Singapore has won international praise for its painstaking onslaught on the virus since it initially emerged with one of the highest tallies of infections outside China. But other nations have since outpaced it.

    Singapore has reported 212 infections, but no fatalities. Globally, more than 150,000 people have been infected while over 5,800 have died, a Reuters tally shows. — Reuters

    Govt to convene special Covid-19 meeting tomorrow to discuss further measures 3

    JOHOR BARU: The government will convene a special Covid-19 meeting tomorrow to discuss further measures needed to contain infections, following the spike in cases to a total of 428 recorded until noon today, since the beginning of infections in the country.

    Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba (pix) said apart from Health Ministry representatives, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and representatives of the Defence Ministry are also expected to attend.

    “We (Malaysia) have now entered the ‘late containment’ phase”, he said, in view of the 428 cases recorded so far.

    He told reporters this after observing the situation at the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex at Bangunan Sultan Iskandar here today. Also present was Johor Health Director Dr Aman Rabu and state Health and Environment Committee chairman R. Vidyananthan.

    Adham said initial investigations indicated that most of the latest cases were linked to the ‘tabligh’ rally cluster – the rally had taken place at Masjid Jamek Sri Petaling in Kuala Lumpur, from Feb 27 to March 1.

    He said a total of 190 new cases of the coronavirus had been reported until noon today, bringing the total number of cases to 428.

    Adham added that the Health Ministry would invoke section 15 (1) of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 to track down and enforce health screening on rally participants who have refused to come forward to health authorities for testing.

    “The ministry calls on those who were at the Sri Petaling mosque to contact the nearest District Health Office for further action,“ he said.

    The minister added that from Jan 5 until today, a total of 6.8 million people comprising foreigners and Malaysians had undergone health screening at all entry points in Johor, and so far, no positive Covid-19 cases had been detected through the screening.

    He also stressed that premises with individuals who have been confirmed to have been infected with Covid-19, should be closed by operators without waiting for instructions from the ministry. — Bernama

  • A Review of the Newlife Malaysia Multi Level Marketing Company

    A Review of the Newlife Malaysia Multi Level Marketing Company

    [ad_1]

    Newlife Malaysia was was originally started by Dr. Lynn Tan and Mr. C.K. Tan. Dr. Lynn Tan got motivated to start this company because she was very good at sports when she was younger and very health conscious. She even participated in many State Wide Sports Tournaments in Malaysia. But at the young age of 19 her health started failing and no one knew why. She was at a loss for energy, and found herself irritated and lethargic most of the time. She saw many physicians but none of them could diagnose what was wrong with her.

    One day her and her husband met a Dr. Costa Deir while they were at church. By coincidence he was also a medical doctor and naturopath. Then things all of a sudden changed for the better. She was diagnosed as having Toxemia or poisons throughout her body. Dr. Lynn Tan then started using common sense, homeopathic simple principles to start detoxing her body, like eating the right types of foods. In a few short months, her health suddenly took a turn for the better. As some people get better using homeopathic remedies that traditional medicine couldn’t seem to help her with, is where her inspiration came to start Newlife Malaysia came from.

    The philosophy of Newlife Malaysia is Good Health and Good Wealth without compromise. The business which was founded in 1993 was mainly setup for the founders family consumption. When they realized they could help thousands of people, they opened the business to the public and started a Network Marketing Compensation Plan. Upon browsing their website, I noticed they carry a pretty nice array of products. The main categories are Health Food, Herbal & Detox, Vitamins & Minerals, Personal & Family Care, Annemarie Borland Products and Nutritional Books.

    As of this moment, with our current eating habits we are destroying our health and the health of our children by not eating the right foods. Small children are now getting diseases like diabetis that only adults use to get. Medical Facilities are filled with people with diseases and ailments and in too many cases medical doctors don’t have logical answers. With better eating habits, these diseases could easily be circumvented. It’s a childs right to be healthy and a responsibility of parents to keep them healthy. This is the main philosophy behind Newlife Malaysia. They want to not only supply you with the proper nutrients and foods but educate you on how to eat properly to live a higher quality of life.

    Just by a quick glance I estimate the company sells about 100 products in all. This information wasn’t on their main site, but another website that collects leads for this company said it was a Infinity Depth (Hybrid) Pay Plan. The products are all delivered right to the customers home. To my knowledge this MLM Opportunity is only open to the people in Malaysia.

    This isn’t the fanciest MLM Website I’ve seen by a long shot, but the owners have established credibility with me due to how long they have been in business and their personal experiences in health and searching for homeopathic remedies. I can personally relate to this myself and I’m sure many who read this can in one way or the other as well.
