nrhfnbh ...

fuck this shit

Mr Health Minister, can you PLEASE ALREADY make a stand and issue a NO GATHERING IN HUGE CROWDS decree?! What else are you waiting for

Stop taking do something moron.

You know, South Korea have shincheonji, we have tabligh. 😩

This

t-that many!?

The authorities should've cancelled the event back then instead of taking things lightly. Our initial response were inadequate, even sliding mass movements into the country.

Just when you thought it could not get any worse

I say If they know about the disease and they still chose to gather then we should let nature do its thing. Let the weakness link 🔗 be eliminated.

Chile anyways... See you guys in 2021

Even you don't wear mask!

Ahahaha😂😂😂😂 pergi demi agama, balik mati berpenyakit ahahaha

Still conducting gatherings of more than 100... Can they finally f*cking ban gatherings? Not so smart.

MuhdYassin Even look at the picture makes me feel sad. Aww

Those Singaporean and Bruneian already infected, so many of them are likely too.

Meeting with 14500 people when the whole world is suggesting social distancing and to cancel gatherings of not more than 100 people

Yeayyyyyy.

.....

Let's all be socially responsibe. Dont be like these irresponsible people. Take care everyone.

KKM kena diberi data palsu

ggwp

Yes, we shouldn't panic. But can't help thinking if just one person among them was Covid-19 positive, how many of the 14.5K would be affected and how fast and wide it would spread exponentially. It's mind boggling!

Public health and religion. Which one comes first?

meramerameez Astaghfirullah al azim

1 jer aku nak cakap. Bodoh!

Whoever said it was 5,000 must trying to cover something

😟😷

Takpa. Nasihat, menggesa, dan panduan boleh menyelematkan kita!! 100%

Dumb fools

Listen official_izone to prevent virus spreading

brace urselves malaysia. gonna be a tough ride ahead. ignorance and selfishness is the malaysian culture and now we r paying for it

Didn't it cross their minds that their loved ones will be the first and most likely to get infected? Guess earthly life does not matter to altered state doomers on auto pilot .

W a c k 🗿

The price of being ignorant. selfish. couldn’t care less. Not only you are exposing yourself to the virus but also turning yourself to be a spreader spreading across the country. Best of luck !

See... It is going to be disaster...
