In my opinion, the tourism sector that will be opened in Langkawi give advantages and disadvantages, especially to visitors later.

The benefits of opening up the tourism sector in Langkawi can certainly boost the country's economy which has been declining a few months ago following the Covid-19 pandemic that hit us early last year. Furthermore, it will provide employment opportunities to the laid-off community this Covid-19 season.

However, the disadvantage of opening this tourism sector is because of the extremely dangerous Covid-19 season.  Although, Malaysia's health minister, Dato' Khairy Jamaludin has announced that it is endemic for Malaysia, the community should not take any chances because Covid-19 cases in Malaysia are increasing every day. Therefore, as a competent society, if you want to go on holiday, make sure the vaccination is complete and always adhere to the SOPs that have been set so that we are always protected from the outbreak of this disease.

Malaysia should not open a tourist spot in Langkawi Island because the number of covid 19 cases in Malaysia is now increasing. Although the tourist destination only allows individuals who have had a dose of vaccine but the dose is not a guarantee for the individual not to be infected with covid 19

in my opinion, it is a good things to reopen Langkawi Island as a vacation place and also can help revive for our sector economy in Malaysia. This is because, tourism is an one of activities sure can help to generate a lot of income. So, I hope that everyone who wants to travel to Langkawi Island needs to get a complete vaccination to stop the spread of this virus Covid-19.

My opinion, Langkawi can be an example to reopen one of Malaysia vacation place . So this can slowly increase our country economy . Tourist could come to Langkawi for relaxing their mind because of the pandemic make us stress think how to survive. If this method runs smoothly, government should reopen other tourism place.

in my opinion, Malaysia really need to learn from the previous mistake. if the government what to reopen langkawi to increase the county’s economy, the government need to be strict to avoid unnecessary mistakes just like what happened after the sabah election when the government said that people from sabah does not need to be quarantine which was one of the big mistake. if they want to reopen langkawi again, it would be nice if the government states a few strict rules for the tourist.

Yes but also no. Here's why.

Personally, I think it is fair for us to reopen and rehabilitate our lives again since the right time has come. The vaccination rate is at all time high and had surpassed the 500k notch once in August as well as the public health safety awareness about the danger of infection from COVID-19. We were greatly hit economically by this pandemic for the past year and a half or so that we cannot afford to enforce long term lockdowns any longer right now or any time in nearest future at least. 600k household slipped down from the comfortable class of middle-income families with enough saving to live by through this hard and challenging times, to the hustling and struggling group of people that have to work paycheck to paycheck in order to just surviving life with their unlivable wage. Not to forget there are still millions of people who were laid off because of the impact of the virus spread early on last year and are still unemployed, in this country and around the world. I think, with the creation of the travel bubble and Langkawi Island chosen to be the location for this pilot project, we would see significant domestic economic boost from time to time. In return this boost will enable the authorities to help people stepping out of the critical poverty caused by the pandemic with financial packages and allocations. Langkawi itself have serene and beautiful environment, picturesque beaches, and 5 star accomodation resorts. I have high expectations for this programme and will hoping for a successful outcome. All that is left for us to do is abide the SOPs as well as be alert of our surroundings. As the Minister of Health said himself, we will have to learn and adapt to a life with SARS-Coronavirus-2 virus as this pandemic will be transitioning to an endemic.

Undoubtedly, there are still bits of hesitancy deep down inside of all our hearts. We have seen the infection numbers soared from early February until today. The numbers did not show signs of decrease but rather spike up to tens of thousands in the manner of weeks. We questioned the reliability of the mass testing numbers because we were concerned we would never get our normalcy back and I understood that myself. Many of us worry that if the travel bubble project will be a failure and we might not see the light of the end of this long tunnel, as we have saw how the Sabah State Election turned out. The administration failed to act quickly to halt the spread of the virus by not imposing strict quarantine policy for the people coming back from campaigning in the Sabah Election to their state in Peninsula. Instead, they were allowed not to abide to the policy the Health Ministry and National Safety Council had endorsed. This very policy that kept us safe throughout the past months, since MCO in early March last year, to CMCO in May, to RMCO in August of 2020. All those efforts were to be in vain and down to drain all because of the ignorance, negligence, and also selfish action of certain people. Most of us now have developed the term Millenials and Gen Z called "trust issues". We are afraid. And we deserve to. We are scared. And we should feel the need to. The reason to that are understood by many and so did I. However, when will put a stop on this discussion of hesitating our abilities to overcome this? Health is wealth, but economy provide that wealth, and economy is essential. Period.

In this very testing timeframe, people are dying not only to the cause of the virus but also because a stressing atmosphere, social unrest, and other predicaments. They do not deserve those sufferings nor do any human being will be deserving of it. So it is important and crucial, that we seek for reconciliation and compromises because above all, we share so much thing in common then we have in the differences. We are in the sheer desperation to find solutions to this difficult issue and that can never be denied by any party but instead must get the contribution from anyone, regardless of their socio-status, directly or indirectly, for we shall see the end to this together.

In my opinion, this plan is very suitable to be done to revive the economy sector in Malaysia.  However, the government should also give a stipulation to Malaysians that the number of people who can travel to Langkawi Island is only not more than 80% and have been fully vaccinated.  This is because, to prevent further increase in Covid-19 cases in Malaysia and to ensure that the percentage of vaccination groups in Malaysia is constantly increasing every day.  Therefore, this plan is suitable to be carried out if the government can quickly identify the causes,effects, and benefits before opening this economy sector.

Im agree with that statement. Because this allows malaysia to earn national income because tourism is one of the activities for the country to generate a lot of income. However, strict SOPs should be imposed on tourists to control the spread of covid cases 19. Otherwise this will not bring results because tourists feel unsafe while being there

In my opinion, i am not agree with that statement if only Langkawi islands will reopen.This is not fair because not only Langkawi Islands got affected by this pandemic but all of Malaysians

I am extremely agree with endemic. this is time for Malaysians to learn to live with the covid-19 because almost 2 years the covid-19 hits our country.Even the lockdown is emplemented, the cases of infection is increasing day by day.So ? for now the lockdown is not good alternative anymore.

in my opinion, it is a good thing because it can relax the minds of the people after following the order from the government not to travel for a long time due to the spread of the virus.

In my opinion, Malaysia shouldn't reopen the Langkawi Islands during this pandemic because covid-19 are still high and it will spread more the virus covid-19. It is true Malaysia should start for life with covid-19 but why only Langkawi Island can be reopen? Not only Langkawi Island got economy affected but all the economy in Malaysia got affected. Some of people lost their job just because of their economy and commit suicide is getting high reached 1000 above since the pandemic of covid-19 started. So please understand Malaysia situation and don't use an excuse economy got affected. I mean yes it's true their economy got affected  but not only Langkawi Island lives in Malaysia who got affected economy and also don't use an excuse only to those who got fully vaccinated can go everywhere. Safely reminder, just because you got vaccinated doesn't mean you can't get attack by covid-19 and there is still to those who got fully vaccinated got attacked and found death by covid-19.

In my opinion on this article , I personally don’t think that the idea of reopening Langkawi is safe for us . Yet to be practical, due to Malaysia’s economic crisis, the government have no other choice than to reopen this tourism area  . We should remember that this comes up additionally with many disadvantages as well . As a precaution method , the tourist and people who are willing to travel should follow the SOP and be aware of the challenges and risks that might come along with it . For example , they should only allow tourism vehicles and booking travel packages with travel operators that are registered the Tourism , Arts and Culture Ministry . Only people that have completely 2 dose of vaccines are allowed to travel. Next , usage of MySejahtera app is compulsory and face masks have to be worn in public and crowded places . Body temperature should be stated every place we’re checking in and out . Also , public transport and restaurant should only allow 50% of the people they allow to dine in or take away before the pandemic . Meanwhile for activities such as snorkelling or scuba diving , there should be a limitation of 10 people in a group . Therefore , these steps are only precautions methods from getting infected but this can not solve the entirely . As a reminder , we should always remember that there is many risks and consequences we will have to face . I guess these are some steps that the government should reconsider in order to be fair for both Malaysia financial markets and our Malaysian .

In my opinion, if the Malaysian government need to open the Langkawi Island for tourism, the government needs to make rules for this plan.  Among them, limiting the number of tourists, accepting only domestic tourists and tourists who have already received both doses of the vaccine.  Tourists also need to be under the eye of the authorities so that they do not violate the SOP.

for me , it is a good things since local people can take a break from
the pandemic and also can live like the old days .
