Ramai yang merasa cemas pada masa sekarang, terutamanya warga emas kami dan keluarga mereka. Untuk ramai warga emas Malaysia, keadaan terkini meyebabkan mereka mengimbas kembali ke waktu darurat May 13 1969 atau peperangan dunia kedua dan pendudukan komunis. Kami sedang berperang! Peperangan ini adalah dengan virus. Virus ini pula kurang kesannya kepada yang muda, tetapi untuk warga emas, terutama yang berumur 80 tahun ke atas serta mereka yang menghidapi penyakit jantung, kencing manis, paru-paru, darah tinggi dan kanser, ada kemungkinan mereka akan menimpa maut.
在这时期大家一定为自己的家人，尤其是岁数比交多的长辈担心。有的长者一定回顾1969 年五一三的时代。也有的更老的可能还想到第二次世界大战 或共产党时代。我们正在和病毒打战。年轻人患上这一种病毒多数会没事。但乐龄大的患上病毒就可能面对生命的危险。尤其是年龄超过80岁还是有其他疾病的人会可能失命。
These are anxious times, particularly for our older population and their family members. For many of our seniors, this may evoke flashbacks of May 13th 1969, and for those who are in the oldest age group this may even be a reminder of the communist occupation and the second world war. We are at war with a virus which spares the young and targets those who are older, particular those over 80 years, as well as those with other illnesses- heart disease, diabetes, lung problems, high blood pressure and cancer.
