The condemnation came from social media users who were not amused by the likes of actresses like Liyana Jasmay, Farah Nabilah, Ummi Nazeera, Aishah Azman and actor Alvin Chong as the country entered its second day of the restricted movement.“Are you not aware? People are freaking out about the Covid-19 virus that is escalating and you’re still on holiday. Please pity the ‘frontliners’ who will have to do tests on people like you,” one social media user said.
Many were obviously unamused with such posts, and echoed the same sentiments, with one harshly commenting, “Please don’t bring back Covid-19 and your stupidity back to Malaysia.” “We were supposed to fly back to Malaysia on the 23rd March but amidst the coronavirus scare, we decided to cancel some locations, shorten our shoot time and come home early,” posted Liyana Jasmay.
