JANUARY 15 Malaysia begins 2021 on a sombre note, nearing 10 months of battling the Covid-19 pandemic, with almost 150,000 total cases and four figure daily caseloads beleaguering the healthcare system. The government’s reinstated movement control order (MCO) for six states until January 26 and the nationwide state of Emergency, is slated to last until August 1, or earlier, depending on the rate of coronavirus infections.
These necessary restrictions will aid in curbing Malaysia’s current spike in Covid-19 infections to manageable levels in the coming months. However, UNFPA Malaysia notes the urgency of ensuring our most vulnerable women and girls do not suffer even heavier short- and long-term disadvantages, all of which impede the progress of gender equality, national recovery and development.

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 14 The inclusion of Arau MP Datuk Shahidan Kassim, who was once charged for molesting a 15-year-old girl, in the Parliamentary Special Select Committee (SSC) for women and children’s affairs has been criticised today.
DAP’s Lanang MP Alice Lau today said that the Umno MP had once even opposed the formation of the committee.
“I fought very hard for the formation of this SSC. Arau and Bintulu were the two out of seven house committee members who rejected it! He rejected the SSC and now he’s in SSC!
