Abstract

When the COVID-19 virus hit the country, the Malaysian government launched numerous public healthcare initiatives such as monitoring of the Standard Operation Procedures (SOP), vaccination programmes, and other related attempts in order to curb the pandemic. However, the government received different kinds of respond from the citizens with regards to the efforts. The article discusses the diverse opinions that spurted out amongst the public particularly pertaining to their confidence and trust towards the government’s management of the crisis, which in turn deconstructed the existing common sense. Data are collected from observation on social media postings, online newspapers, and related videos in order to highlight the deconstructive phenomena over the public’s mindset as a result of the crisis.
