The death toll of COVID-19 here in Malaysia is now in double digits as the 10th victim passed away today.

The victim, a 74 year old man, was linked to the tabligh event which took place on 27 February in Sri Petaling.

Hamzah Nazari

TRP's Head of Editorial, Hamzah was formerly a hard-news journalist who reported on politics, did investigative work, and occasionally went undercover. He now spends his days sitting at a desk, checking grammar and fielding calls from PR companies, which is totally fine and fulfilling. For sure. He's also married with kids now so his wife and mother said he can't do risky things anymore.
