Infection
On the midnight of June 24th 2004 a biological research lab near the town of Yukagir, in the Far North of Russia, violently exploded. The lab, belonging to the research company BioIntel, had previously been under suspicion of conducting unethical “tests” on humans. Their goals have since been exposed. While previously branding themselves as simply an organization interested in the study of the human ability, we can now say for certain that the labs’ true purpose was to produce “superhumans”. Each year, men, women and children were captured and subsequently held captive, forced to consume dangerous chemicals in order to induce the creation of superhuman abilities. Products of this research can be seen in recently seized bioweapons: Humans made to kill.

The People You Didn’t Know You Missed From High School
Here’s the thing about High School — it means the most once it’s over. You go 5 years dreading the 6.00 am alarm, or 5.00 am for the Geng Bas Sekolah, hoping to hear, “Esok cuti.” Yet, all it takes is to get up one morning post-graduation and realise that our group of friends is neither getting together for another gossip session during perhimpunan (assembly), nor piling around the same table during recess, and all of a sudden we wish we could go back. It is no secret that those of us adulting miss hanging out with the gang. From the rebels to the prefects, all of us belonged to at least one infamous clique. Here’s a SMK student’s guide to High School Stereotypes.

Backstory
Malaysia was once one of the top 20 countries that best managed the Covid-19 pandemic. However, after the Sabah election in September 2020, mass gatherings had triggered a third wave of COVID-19 spike. Furthermore, the highly contagious Delta variant landed in Malaysia recently. According to Dr Noor Hisham, this variant is far more contagious whereby an infected person could spread the virus to 5 to 8 people as compared to the original SARS-CoV2 that only spread to 2 to 4 individuals. As screening continues, more asymptomatic carriers are identified which reached 8000 confirmed cases for the first time and cases even exceeded 10,000 since 13th July. This uprise signalled that the war with the virus would not end soon.
