Umkhuhlane we-A (H1N1) wenza kube nzima kuziphathimandla zezokuvakasha zaseMalaysia ukuhlangabezana nezivakashi eziyisigidi ezihlosiwe zaseShayina kulo nyaka.
Kuyindaba yokubeka izinto obala kakhulu ekusatshalalisweni kolwazi ngobhubhane lwe-A (H1N1) eChina.
Izindaba zomkhuhlane obusa izihloko zezindaba, i-te-levision kanye ne-inthanethi - into engakaze izwakale eminyakeni yokuqala yombuso wamaKhomanisi - yenza imboni yezokuvakasha yaseShayina ikhathazeke.
"Njengoba sinolwazi lokubhekana nokuqubuka kwe-SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) ngo-2003, uhulumeni waseChina uye waphumela obala futhi waba bucayi ekusingatheni noma yisiphi isifo nezinhlekelele," kusho imenenja jikelele yeBeijing Shishang International Travel Agency Co uMa Yanhui.
"Ezinyangeni ezimbili ezedlule ukufakwa kwezindaba zasekhaya ku-A (H1N1) bekubaluleke kakhulu kubantu bakithi ukuthi baqaphele lesi simo, kodwa ngasikhathi sinye kuthene amandla abaningi ukuthi baye phesheya kwezilwandle."
Umenzi wezokuvakasha uphakamise lolu daba ngesikhathi exoxisana noNgqongqoshe wezokuVakasha uDatuk Seri uDkt Ng Yen Yen ovakashele eBeijing, eShanghai, eWuhan naseGuangzhou ngenyanga edlule lapho egqugquzela izivakashi zaseChina ukuthi zivakashele eMalaysia.
Inkampani ka-Ma iyodwa ibone amakhasimende angaphezu kuka-50% ambalwa abhalisela ukuvakasha kwamanye amazwe, nakuba ukuvakasha kwasekhaya kusadingeka kakhulu.
Uthe iziphathimandla zaseChina zeluleke abantu ukuthi bangahambi ukuze behlise ubungozi bokuthola lesi sifo, kodwa ezokuvakasha zithembele kakhulu kubantu abahambayo.
“Manje njengoba i-World Health Organization isibuyekeze incazelo ye-A (H1N1) - ukuthi akusona isifo esibulalayo futhi esingelapheki - sithemba ukuthi abezindaba bazodlala indima enkulu ukwenza abantu bazizwe bekhululekile ukuhamba futhi," esho.
Ngokombiko we-China Travel Research Institute, inkomba yokuzethemba embonini phakathi kwabasebenza ngezokuvakasha yehle isuka kumaphuzu angama-99 yaya ku-69.5 engxenyeni yokuqala yonyaka.
Abasebenzi bezokuvakasha babhekene nesikhathi esinzima kakhulu selokhu kwaba nokuhlehla kwe-SARS, okunomthelela ophindwe kabili ovela enkingeni yezimali yomhlaba kanye nobhubhane lwe-A (H1N1).
Kuphinde kwaba nokudilizwa kwabasebenzi emahhotela kanye nokwehla kwentengo yezimpahla zokuvakasha kanye namaholo abasebenzi embonini, kuphawula umbiko.
Uma kubhekwa ukuqhubeka nokuqubuka komphakathi kwe-A (H1N1) ezindaweni ezinkulu zokuvakasha ezifana ne-Hong Kong, Beijing kanye nesifundazwe sase-Guangdong, kuzothatha isikhathi ukuthi imboni ilulame, kodwa ngeke ibe kubi kakhulu kunokuhlangenwe nakho kwa-SARS.
Ngesikhathi sakwa-SARS, imali engenayo evela embonini yehle yafinyelela ku-488bil yuan (RM254bil), ngo-12.3% ngaphansi kwaleyo yango-2002.
Kusukela ngoLwesithathu, iChina yaqopha amacala angama-2,210 A (H1N1), angama-2,074 kuwo abeseluleme. Akukaze kube khona ukufa okuhlobene nalesi sifo.
UMnyango Wezokuvakasha wase-Malaysian ubhekene nenselelo enkulu yokuthuthukisa abavakashi abafikayo abavela e-China, futhi isimo se-A (H1N1) e-Malaysia asisizi nakancane. Kube namacala ayi-1,525 nokufa kwabantu abayi-15 kusukela ngoLwesihlanu.
UDkt Ng uthe ukusakazwa kwabezindaba kabanzi ngalo bhubhane kudwebe isithombe esibi ngeMalaysia futhi izivakashi zakwamanye amazwe zigwema izwe.
“Cishe nsuku zonke izindaba zegciwane i-A (H1N1) zigcwala emakhasini ambalwa okuqala ephephandaba, futhi lokhu kwenze umsebenzi wethu enkonzweni waba nzima kakhulu. Nginxuse uNgqongqoshe Wezempilo ukuthi angagqamisi ubhubhane,” kusho yena.
Uthe manje sekungcono njengoba izindaba ezifuze lezi bezingakadlalwa kangako kwabezindaba muva nje.
Ungqongqoshe uphinde wasebenzisa ithuba lohambo lwakhe lwaseChina ukuyohlangana nabezindaba baseChina ukuze uMnyango udwebe isithombe esinembayo ngeMalaysia.
Uthe i-A (H1N1) wumkhuhlane ojwayelekile ongabanjwa yinoma ngubani kanti uma isisulu sidinga ukwelashwa okufanele kusenesikhathi, lesi sifo singelapheka kalula.
“Akufanele ukhathazeke ngokuya eMalaysia. Iphephile egciwaneni i-A (H1N1) futhi isimo sobhubhane asisibi njengoba ucabanga,” kusho yena.
UDkt Ng unazo zonke izizathu zokukhathazeka ngokufika kwezivakashi ezivela eChina. Ngonyaka odlule izivakashi zaseShayina zakha izivakashi ezingaba ngu-950,000 kwezingu-22 million ezifika eMalaysia.
Ngaphambi kokuba kuvele icala lokuqala le-A (H1N1) eHong Kong ngoMeyi, iMalaysia yayizibekele umgomo wokuletha okungenani abavakashi baseChina abayisigidi. Kodwa manje, ngenxa yokwesaba umkhuhlane, okuhlosiwe kungase kungafezeki.
Nokho, konke akulahlekile. Kusenethemba lokuheha izivakashi zaseShayina ngeviki legolide lika-Okthoba - lapho i-China igubha uSuku Lwezwe lwayo ngo-Oct 1 okulandelwa iholidi lesonto lonke - kanye nasezinyangeni zasebusika.
