Covid-19: US and Europe paying high price for their freedoms, says Dr M

CORONAVIRUS | Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad believes that the success of China and South Korea in dealing with the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic is driven largely by the discipline and attitude of the people in following their government's instructions.
