“Cluster Jibby” – Netizens Lament The Lack Of Social Distancing At Najib Razak’s Court Hearing
Malaysians had their eyes peeled on social media as today (28 July) marks the day former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak will be given the verdict to his on-going court cases revolving around the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) scandal.
Najib’s allies, party comrades, and supporters were seen flooding the entrance and vicinity of the Kuala Lumpur High Court early Tuesday morning to show their undying support.
Many anticipated the presence of his supporters at the court, but were shocked to see them cramped up against each other, forming a sea of humans, ignoring social distancing and some weren't even wearing a mask amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
Some netizens are even calling the scene as “Cluster Jibby, or “Cluster Najib”, and are fearing for the worse (read: MCO 2.0).
Lack of social distancing

A true leader would have made it absolutely clear to the people he served that they should stay safe at home.Our DG and frontliners are working day and night to prevent a second wave, and y'all do this nonsense.There's going to be a Najib cluster. pic.twitter.com/EuINL3ASFQ— Thevesh (@Thevesh) July 28, 2020
I dont care if Najib found guilty, get jailed for 35 years whatsoever. But what do i care is those bloody supporters neglecting the social distance. Some of them go out unmasked. If there is any "Bosskur" cluster, the current gov have to implement PKP again. Bloody hell. https://t.co/BTybvCbQ99- Dan Lebron (@danialazalan) July 28, 2020

Pr rt. Just thought, want to name what cluster is appropriate. There is talk of Najib's decision cluster, Najib's cluster, jibby cluster and I think the bosskur cluster is the most suitable ??- hidayah (@ nuur0039) July 28, 2020

"We are aware of concerns over the lack of social distancing, given the number of supporters here today (July 28) for the high-profile court case.”
"Our officers have been instructed to remind the people here to comply with the SOP, especially on social distancing," Sentul OCPD Asst Comm S. Shanmugamoorthy said.
Malaysians, no matter where you are or what you are doing in public, always remember to wear a mask correctly and also maintain social distancing.
