Eiyo dearies, How are you guys doing? Are you guys happy that the movement control order (MCO) is over now? Malaysia is re-opening its economy. Same with other countries. I'm sure most of you are happy now. I heard some of you already made your travel plans. That's great. To my foreign readers, MCO is referred to as "lockdown" or "partial lockdown". We Malaysians call lockdown as MCO. Before I begin today's post, I would like to remind you guys that COVID-19 is not over yet although MCO is over.

The early death of her husband and her dissatisfaction with court lif...
