Quantum of Solace

How it started On top of the national political turmoil, the happenings on the second quarter of 2020 was something that we never imagined of except in the movie.  Who would have thought that the whole world would be shaken and stood almost completely still because of a virus! Yep, the Coronaviruses (65–125 nm in diameter) had cause nothing but chaos since the first outbreak was reported sometime in December last year. The case was first discovered in Wuhan, China (well at least it was what the scientists believed to be) and within a short period of time, it has become a major outbreak.   Despite of it becoming a pandemic, the virus itself was not entirely new. The earliest reported case was in the late 1920s and human coronaviruses were discovered in the 1960s. It was interesting to know that the scientists named it ‘Corona’ which is Latin for crown because of its spiky surface.   When we first heard about the case, we said to ourselves, “Wow, that’s bad”....

The year 2020 have been really interesting and we only just got to the first half of it. I had so much to share here about the happenings in my life, my country and even the world for the past six months that I decided to break the post into a few smaller pieces for it to be more bearable for the readers  hahaha. I will start with the ULTIMATE political turmoil that the country had ever seen. This was far more interesting than the change in Government after the General Election in May 2018. I will not talk about politics ~ it is just not my cup of tea. But here are some of the fascinating findings that I found from the whole ordeal: The-One-Man-Cabinet Following the unprecedented change in the Government on February 24th 2020 with the abrupt resignation of Malaysia’s 7 th (and also 4 th Prime Minister) the country was left without Cabinet Ministers for a little over a fortnight. During the period, Tun M was appointed by YDPA as the Interim PM, resulting the Cabine...
