  • What is Strict SOP

    What is Strict SOP

    What is Strict SOP? Apparently, strict SOP is a definition of a version of Standard Operating Procedure on COVID-19 prevention. It is never officially defined but the government officials coined the term several times when they talk to the press. The term is usually used when people want to give some leeway in the current COVID-19 prevention practice and would like to reiterate their commitment in the disease’s prevention. Hence, the commitment to practice it “strictly”.

    What is Strict SOP to us?

    When we talk about strict SOP, does that mean “loose SOPs” exists? If strict SOP exists, does that mean all other SOPs are considered as “loose SOPs”?

    There should not be any version of strict or less strict SOPs. Rules are meant to be followed, not bent to anyone’s liking.

    If we go to the extent of telling people that we need strict SOPs, then it shows how we exhibit lackadaisical attitude towards other SOPs currently in place.

    Is there such thing as “Relaxed SOP”?

    Depends on how you define Relaxed SOP. In some media report, relaxed SOP indicates a version of the SOP that is made more relaxed by introducing more relaxed rules.

  • AstraZeneca Booking System: How Can It Be Better

    CYBERJAYA, 26 May 2021: Many Malaysians voiced their frustrations online on AstraZeneca Vaccine system booking on JKJAV’s website, https://www.vaksincovid.gov.my. Complaints about unresponsive site and green-but-full booking slots indicating the company is not competent to handle huge amount of bookings at once.

    Since there have been multiple times of booking sessions before, enormous traffic amount is not uncommon. As such, JKJAV is obligated to seek a feasible solution that can handle high traffic effectively.

    Lucky Draw System for JKJAV’s AstraZeneca Booking System

    As limited places are available at the healthcare facilities, more people are scrambling to vaccinate themselves. By using first-come-first-serve system, the inability to cater for large number of applicants at once has left them fuming. Or we can implement the lucky draw system.

    Day 1 (24-hour period): Allow everyone to register. Don’t use first-come-first serve if your system is not able to handle the crowd. Give everyone opportunity. That way, no one has to rush at a specific period of time in order to “be early”. They can choose their preferred slot (Choice A, B and C).

    Day 2: Participants can login again to determine whether they have succeeded or not. They will be notified on which slot they have obtained. They are given 24 hours to confirm their appointment.

    Day 3: Re-registration for those who have registered in Day 1 only. Quota will be taken from those who have failed to confirm their appointment on Day 2.

    Benefits

    The system has the capability to take in as many registration as possible on Day 1. Filling the empty slots won’t be difficult because of limited number of applicants only on Day 2 and Day 3.

    Ability to edit or cancel appointments in an easy way (rather than having to call, email or visit any location assigned by JKJAV for the purpose of appointment rescheduling).

  • COVID-19: Fighting Rumours with Facts

    COVID-19: Fighting Rumours with Facts

    Since early 2020, Malaysians have been talking about Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) all over social platforms including social media and social messaging. Earlier today on 19 March 2020, one fake news even suggested that military helicopters will be involved in “disinfecting” the country from COVID-19. If helicopters are being used, one should wonder how many of it is required to spray whole Kuala Lumpur area (and subsequently, whole country). It is simply technically impossible to carry out such thing (read: that is a fake news).

    Every day, the authorities have to spend their time answering questions from the citizens or even journalists about some fake news items being spread throughout the social platforms. Malaysian Commission of Multimedia and Communication (MCMC) has also set up a dedicated website to combat fake news (sebenarnya.my). The website is updated regularly, even during crisis times such as during the Movement Control Order (MCO). However, many of the news outlets are not highlighting the website as a trustworthy medium to verify the authenticity of fake news circulating around us.

    The occurence of COVID-19 outbreak this year has brought many new thing to us. For example, the National Security Council (Majlis Keselamatan Negara – MKN) has published a list of social media / messaging platforms that the citizens can refer to in order to get latest information.

    Ministry of Health (MOH) has also being careful with the amount of information that they release to the public. In an apparent compliance with Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) 2010, MOH has never release any personally-identifiable information regarding its patients. Indeed, the collective responsibility carried out by MOH employees to safeguard patients’ information is something that everyone should applaud.

    A fake FAQ list has also prompted the actual one to come out. The fake FAQ has been circulating around since 18 March 2020 while the authentic one was published only on 19 March 2020. Due to tremendous amount of queries received from the public, it prompts the government to come up with an actual one. The fake one looks totally legitimate though.
