92 NS trainees quarantined at camp

MALACCA: Ninety-two trainees are quarantined at the Putra-Putri national service camp in Taboh Naning, Alor Gajah, due to conjunctivitis.

Seventy other affected trainees there have recovered from the infection, state health and medical services director Dr Noraini Baba said, adding that a total of 162 trainees had contracted the eye disease.

â€œIt started when two of the trainees went back home for holidays and came back with the infection. Conjunctivitis is very contagious,” she told reporters after attending the 1st Asean Optometric Conference held at a hotel here yesterday.

The outbreak was detected on April 20.

At the conference being attended by 150 optometrists from various countries, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said it was important for the public to be taught how to prevent the spread of diseases.

In his speech read out by state Health, Human Resources and Consumer Affairs Committee chairman Datuk Seah Kwi Tong, he said the conference was significant, as it would help achieve the aim.

â€œThe role of optometrists is very critical,” he added.

During the event, Malaysian Optometrists Association president Chung Kah Meng launched the Malaysian Academy of Optometry.

PLEASE!! DON’T tell me that this is JUST a coincidence!! I’ve already foresaw this happening SOONER or LATER and indeed, it has came out on the newspaper regarding Conjunctivitis. Why do I say this?

It wasn’t long ago when I had the Conjunctivitis TOO!! However, I stayed at home and therefore could not have spread it to ANYONE. My sister however, the WHOLE cause of the problem had infected the whole world with it Remember how I said she and her friends thought this was funny? It’s not so funny now is it? People are still getting infected when we have all healed up here.

However, since they did not mention WHO from WHERE brought it into camp, I owe it to my sister the benefit of a doubt and not ~~mock~~ ~~laugh~~ ~~point a finger at her and fall down laughing~~ chastise her for this. However people, PLEASE remember to not directly TOUCH your fingers, hand, arm, anything at all to your naked eye!! If you are not careful, you will get it too!!!

My sister hasn’t read this on the newspaper yet but I bet that when she does, she’d be laughing her head off and going “FUNNY what!!!!” -.-” yes, she has some kind of sick humor and I’ve lived with it for the past 15 years! And if any of you find that my sister’s humor is offending you, I apologize for her because she is still a youngling and has yet to mature.
Anyways, if you would like to read past articles of this, please refer to these links to my previous blog.
