Speaking her mind

18 August 2020

1. Covid-19 is much alive and kicking. After a seemingly quiet calm there occurred a sudden outbreak of fresh cases of infections in several parts of Kedah. Within days the number of infected cases has raised unexpectedly causing alarm among the general public.

2. There were rumours of a Covid-19 infection case not far from the neighbourhood where our son was staying, so he prevented his children from going to school for three days in a row by reason of their safety.

3. My wife told him off over the phone because she felt the children would be missing their lessons as schools were opened as usual in the neighbourhood. After the conversation ended, my wife was still muttering her concern about the children missing classes.

4. All the while Nuraina was listening intently. “It’s alright, grandma,” she remarked spontaneously. “They can always learn at home.”
