The recent Wuhan virus outbreak has caused a large outcry amongst some Malaysians, whose xenophobic views and crazy theories have become more prominent than ever, especially among the Malay-Muslim community.
Malaysia confirmed three new cases yesterday (Jan 29), bringing its total cases up to seven, with all of those infected being Chinese nationals.
Since the virus started spreading to other parts of the world, it started gaining attention on social media, as well as many Malaysians calling for a ban on tourists from China.
Malaysia announced a ban on visitors from Wuhan and its surrounding Hubei province on Monday (Jan 27).
Despite this, a petition named “Banned People’s Republic of China citizen from entering Malaysia” was created on that same evening, saying: “The government should think more about the health of Malaysians”.
