#MyTrace #COVID19 #MovementControlOrder, MyTrace: A Quick Guide
#MyTrace is one of three #COVID19 apps that have been produced by the government of Malaysia, after MySejahtera and Gerak Malaysia.
Essentially, MyTrace acts as a beacon that would be flagged automatically if you are nearby another MyTrace user that is tested positive for COVID-19 infection.
This would allow authorities to reach out to you for further action such as to perform COVID-19 test, self/mandatory quarantine, and even trace other nearby MyTrace users that might have been exposed to the virus at the same time as you.
Out of three COVID-19 apps that were produced by the government of Malaysia, this is so far the easiest to use. Do go through our MyTrace quick guide to learn more.

Mandatory use of MySejahtera app being mulled
https://youtu.be/SsDNmh6ODS0
KUALA LUMPUR: THE government plans to make the use of the MySejahtera app mandatory and do away with manual registration of personal data, the House heard.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Redzuan Md Yusof said: “We are currently studying and discussing with the National Security Council and the Attorney General’s Chambers whether we can enforce this as a law.”
He replied to Dr Lee Boon Chye (PH-Gopeng) during Minister’s Question Time.
The MP had asked the ministry to state the limitations faced during the implementation of the MySejahtera app as many premises still used logbooks to record a customer’s information.
Redzuan said this was part of a new culture that the government was trying to introduce to make it easier for the local community to cooperate with the government.
To the initial question, Redzuan revealed that 15.1 million users have registered under the MySejahtera app as of Aug 16.
“Users will have to answer questions relating to their health and travel information when they first register based on the standard operating procedure set by the Health Ministry,” he added.
Redzuan also said that the app successfully detected 322 out of 9,200 Covid-19 patients in the country.
“A quick way of contact tracing can be achieved via the MySejahtera app and the total number of contacts can be detected based on the number of Covid-19 positive cases,” he said.
Hopeful but cautious
The elderly are receptive to the idea of using the MySejahtera app as long as leeway is given at some premises while cybersecurity experts assure the public that those responsible for data leak could be brought to book.
PETALING JAYA: As the government mulls making the MySejahtera app compulsory while doing away with manual registration of personal data at premises, senior citizens are not so happy.
They bemoaned their plight, asking for certain exemptions due to their limitations.
S. Radhakrishnan, a 79-year-old retired legal consultant, commended the move towards digitisation of information but said concessions needed to be made for some cases.
“It is a step in the right direction but making it a blanket rule would cause an issue for certain groups.
“There should be exemptions at certain premises like hospitals where we should be allowed to record details manually, especially for senior citizens who do not own smartphones.
“Some senior citizens can’t operate smartphones because they might have problems reading the small text on the screen or even hearing, so owning a smartphone is not an option for all of us,” he said.
The MySejahtera app recently introduced a feature for group check-in, whereby any user can add their family members who do not own a smartphone into their list of dependents.
This will enable the smartphone user to check in his or her entire family into premises without everyone having to individually do so.
However, Radhakrishnan said if senior citizens were forced to travel with their children just for the purpose of checking them into premises, this would cause a hassle.
“Hospitals would be more crowded because instead of just the patient, they also have to take their children along just to check in,” he added.
Malaysia Singapore Coffeeshop Proprietors’ General Association president Datuk Ho Su Mong also raised concerns on the app’s takeup rate among their elderly customers.
“We have many elderly customers at our coffee shops and many don’t carry a smartphone.
“Some could not even properly write down their own details due to illiteracy or poor eyesight, so we help them by manually recording their information,” he said.
Ho said many members also grappled with the app, saying that only between 30% and 40% out of the 20,000 members had fully adopted the app.
The rest were still manually recording customers’ details as they did not fully understand how to go about using the app at their premises, he noted.
“If the app is made mandatory, the government must provide lessons to business owners so we can all adapt to the change.
“We would also need a grace period of maybe one or two months after the law is in place, where we will not be penalised during the adjustment period,” he added.
On Tuesday, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Redzuan Md Yusof said the government was studying whether it could enforce a law to make the app usage mandatory.
He said this was part of a new culture the government planned to introduce to make it easier for the local community to cooperate.
As many as 15.1 million users have registered under the MySejahtera app so far.
Based on a recent survey in The Star’s Facebook page, Malaysians almost unanimously agreed that it was more convenient to use MySejahtera, as opposed to using multiple applications at different premises.

Data breach is a big concern, say experts
PETALING JAYA: As the government moves to make the use of the MySejahtera app compulsory, experts are concerned that a data breach could leak sensitive information, increasing the number of scams targeting the public.
Details that matter: Members of the public
registering themselves the modern or old-fashioned way before entering
Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur.
However, the Department of Personal Data Protection (JPDP) assured that although the government was not subject to the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) 2010, action could still be taken against those responsible for a data leak.
A JPDP spokesperson said the public could file a complaint to the Chief Government Security Office, a unit under the Prime Minister’s Department that is responsible for the security of all government assets, or the National Cyber Security Agency.
Errant officers who mishandled the data could be charged under the Official Secrets Act 1972 and the Public Officers (Conduct and Discipline) Regulations 1993, he added.
He had checked with the Crisis Preparedness and Response Centre and confirmed that the data is owned by the Health Ministry and is protected by Section 3 of the PDPA. Section 3 states that the Act shall not apply to the Federal Government and state governments.
Bar Council Information Technology and Cyber Laws Committee deputy chairman Foong Cheng Leong also called for more transparency and accountability if there was misuse of the data.
He said there also needed to be an assurance that data would be destroyed at some point in time, adding, “The law should have all the safeguards that we need.”
Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (Usim) Cyber Security and System Research Unit coordinator Dr Madihah Mohd Saudi said the PDPA had a provision that gave users the right to request for their data to be deleted.
She suggested that the government adopt a feature that allowed users to manually delete their history of check-ins after an appropriate amount of time had lapsed and the data was no longer needed.
She said that although the MySejahtera app, like any other system, was not immune to being hacked, it was still more secure than writing one’s name down in a physical logbook, as the info could be easily exploited.
Madihah said that as the app was continuously being updated, it showed that the government was taking steps to improve the system and could even be addressing vulnerabilities if any were discovered.
Cybersecurity specialist Fong Choong Fook questioned what the government had done to protect the data and what process would be used to destroy the gathered information after a certain period of time.
To ensure the successful mandatory adoption of the app, Fong said the government needed to be transparent on its processes and the security controls that were in place.
He predicted there would be an “explosion of scam calls” should the MySejahtera data be leaked, as it kept track of critical information, including a user’s movements.
He said this information might not seem sensitive to a layman, but a scammer could use the data to form a profile of a victim.
“They would know I’ve been to a shopping centre in the morning, then a restaurant next door. With this, a scammer can pretend to be a government official and create a scare story to trick the victim into doing something they otherwise wouldn’t,” he said.
Fong said the government would need to be more transparent with the data management. If it wasn’t, the adoption of MySejahtera could suffer due to a sceptical public, he added.-

“Stimulating entrepreneurship and innovation is highly important for
providing employment for key groups of people and increasing their
income" - Premier Li Keqiang
In four separate speeches, Secretary of State Pompeo (pic), Attorney
General Barr, National Security Adviser O’Brien and FBI Director Wray laid out their case for containing China. But do the US Gang of Four’s analyses of containment of China make global sense?

This is the age of disconnection. What Covid-19 has done is to show up all the flaws of global connectivity.
The virus travels with human beings and forces us to have periodic lockdowns that disconnects the transmission, buying time to bring it under control. Commenting on the pandemic, US Foreign Affairs magazine laments not only the US failure to prepare, but also the failure to contain: “what is killing us is not connection, it is connection without cooperation.” Touché!
Globalisation was the great connector, created by the unipolar order which saw free trade as beneficial not just to the world, but mostly to itself. But the shift to a multi-polar order made America insecure and everyone else unsure.
A wounded Alpha is always dangerous, emotionally hurt and lashing out on perceived rivals. China as number two falls into that category.
In four separate speeches, Secretary of State Pompeo, Attorney General Barr, National Security Adviser O’Brien and FBI Director Wray laid out their case for containing China. But do the US Gang of Four’s analyses of containment of China make global sense?
Beating the drums of war, decoupling trade and splintering the Internet into a “Clean Net” may sound great for domestic politics, but no one in their right mind can support a nuclear arms race in the midst of a growing global pandemic and possibly the worst economic depression since the 1930s.
The global free trade bargain is very simple - free trade is win-win for all trading partners, but each country must deal with the unequal distribution of trade benefits within its own borders - all about domestic politics.
Disconnecting global trade and free flow of information only increases costs for all, reducing the resources to deal with domestic inequalities.Worse, any arms race is lose-lose for all, diverting scarce resources from fighting pandemics, climate warming and domestic injustices.
History is the best guide to understanding how we got into the mess today.
The story on US politics and economics is well told, but the China story is often undertold. Because of China’s rapid growth from poverty to world number two in 40 years, most historians are still at a loss to explain what this implies for the world as a whole. NUS East Asia Institute Professor Wang Gungwu in his marvelous new book: “China Reconnects (2019)” has given us a clear and easily readable sweep of China’s history and her search to reconnect with the outside world.
Professor Wang has condensed global history into three key centres of power: Mediterranean, India and China.
In 1500, China and India accounted for 48.6% of world population and 49.2% of world GDP (OECD). The Mediterranean powers (broadly including all Western Europe and West Asia) amounted to 17.1% and 22% of population and GDP respectively.
But it was naval power, science and technology that enabled the Western swerve to global dominance, so by 1950, China and India together accounted for 16.3% of world GDP, but 35.9% of the population. Western Europe and USA plus Western offshoots accounted for 19.1% of global population, but 56.8% of world GDP.
This neglect of maritime power caused India to be colonized by the 18th century, and China nearly gobbled up by the 19th century.
China’s engagement with the world was mostly through the Silk Road, with Indian Buddhism being the major foreign cultural influence on China. The Silk Road flourished during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), but the Mongol empire in the 13th-14th century connected China not only to Europe, but also to Mughal India.
However, the arrival of Western traders through South-East Asia after 1500 accelerated China’s trade with the West (including cross-Pacific trade with Latin America through Manila). Only in the 20th century did China begin to appreciate that the key instruments of Western power came from maritime power and ability to enforce international law.
In Chapter 2 of “Behind the Dream, ” Professor Wang skillfully weaves the story of post-dynastic China, when Chinese intellectuals struggled to understand modernity. It was the Japanese invasion that sparked Chinese nationalism, culminating in the civil war that enabled the Communists to unite the country with the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949.
The story of Chairman Mao, Deng Xiaoping and the policy choices of President Xi Jinping is told with verve and deep insight, without the usual Western baggage of seeing personalities in black and white.
China’s admiration for the West is defined in Chinese names for the leading powers – heroic England, beautiful America, legal France and virtuous Germany. Hence, the reforms in the last 40 years were all about reconnecting to the West through trade, investment, technology and people. But as China became deeply entangled in globalisation as the world’s largest manufacturer and trading partner, there grew an internal awareness that continued development would have to rely on internal stability and order, as well as external security. Stability was premised on a strong Party, and as Professor Wang put it, “the country’s integrity rests on the capacity to defend its borders even from the world’s sole superpower.”
Professor Wang goes deep into Chinese philosophy and political history to find China’s roots into the new world order.
The book’s real contribution is in explaining China’s shift from the Old World to the New Global. Here, China’s interaction with the South, especially with the Association of Southeast Asian (Asean) countries, will play crucially in the next phase of development of the New Global.
Asean comprises 600 million people and over US$2.5 trillion in GDP, with great cultural diversity, natural resources and a strategic zone that holds the key to global trade between the West, South Asia, China and Northeast Asia. The South China Sea cannot afford to be balkanized because it was Great Power struggles that made the Balkans an unstable region for Europe and the Near East for over a century.
As the US tries to disconnect, China Reconnects is a tour-de-force for us to understand current developments from the lens of philosophy and history. Professor Wang writes with eye-popping clarity, dosed with empathy, to guide us through the fog of uncertainty. Unfortunately, reconnection takes two to play. Whether the next US President will attempt to connect or disconnect will be the question of the century.
