Kami, pertubuhan-pertubuhan masyarakat madani dan badan-badan bukan kerajaan (NGO), terkesan dengan pengumuman oleh Menteri Pertahanan Ismail Sabri bahawa NGO-NGO kini tidak dibenarkan mengedar makanan kepada golongan berisiko.
Kami sedar betapa seriusnya situasi yang kini melanda negara, dan kami memberi komitmen sepenuhnya untuk membantu kerajaan untuk bersama-sama melawan koronavirus dan dan menghentikan penyebaran virus ini.
Pada masa yang sama, mungkin wujud kekurangan kesedaran terhadap berapa banyak komuniti dan golongan berisiko yang terkesan akibat perintah kawalan pergerakkan dan menghadapi kesukaran untuk mendapatkan barangan keperluan asas termasuk makanan.
Golongan-golongan yang terkesan termasuk golongan 40% yang terbawah, golongan miskin di bandar dan luar bandar, rakyat yang telah hilang punca pendapatan akibat perintah kawalan pergerakkan, golongan tua, golongan yang tidak boleh keluar rumah, orang sakit, anak yatim, orang asli, pekerja asing, pelarian dan ramai lagi.
Kerajaan agaknya tidak mungkin ada senarai semua golongan berisiko yang memerlukan bantuan pada masa ini atau mampu mengambil alih semua usaha kerja membantu komuniti-komuniti ini dengan segera.

Dasar sentralisasi yang dicadangkan ini dibimbangkan adalah hasil daripada perancangan yang kurang efektif dan pemahaman yang mungkin tidak lengkap berkenaan permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh golongan miskin.
NGO-NGO tidak wujud untuk menggantikan peranan kerajaan atau memburukkan nama baik kerajaan. Konsep #KitaJagaKita bukan berhasrat memberi apa-apa implikasi bahawa kerajaan gagal dalam mana-mana usaha – ianya hanya menekankan bahawa krisis ini cukup parah sehingga semua rakyat Malaysia diharuskan memikul tanggungjawab untuk menjaga kebajikan satu sama lain.
Kami merayu agar kerajaan memberi pelepasan kepada NGO-NGO untuk mengedar makanan, perubatan dan keperluan lain meneruskan usaha mereka secara selamat dan bertanggungjawab, sambil memberi kerjasama sepenuhnya kepada pihak kerajaan dan mematuhi garis panduan kesihatan dan keselamatan yang ditetapkan oleh kerajaan.
Kami yakin NGO-NGO terlibat akan terus mengambil langkah-langkah yang sepatutnya demi menjaga kesihatan dan keselamatan termasuk mengguna pembersih tangan, memastikan penjarakkan sosial, dan mengehadkan nombor pekerja yang terlibat kepada yang diperlukan sahaja.
Krisis ini menjejaskan kehidupan ramai rakyat Malaysia. Kita semua perlu bekerjasama dalam melaksanakan tanggungjawab sebagai rakyat yang bersatupadu.
English version
Plea to government: Allow NGOs to deliver food, other necessities
We, the undersigned civil society organisations and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), view with grave concern the announcement by Defence Minister Ismail Sabri concerning how NGOs will now no longer be allowed to deliver food to vulnerable communities.
We certainly appreciate the gravity of the coronavirus situation and are fully committed to assist the government in every possible way to battle the coronavirus pandemic and stop the spread of the virus.
At the same time, we are concerned that there is a lack of appreciation as to just how many vulnerable communities are affected by the movement control order and are having difficulties accessing basic necessities such as food.
These communities include the bottom 40% of households, the urban and rural poor, Malaysians who have lost their income as a result of the movement control order, the elderly, the house-bound, the sick, orphans, Orang Asli, migrant workers, refugee communities and many, many more.
It is hard to imagine that the government has a complete list of all the vulnerable communities that need assistance and will be able to take over serving all these communities immediately.
The very suggestion of such over-centralisation suggests poor planning and a poor understanding of the plight of the poor.
NGOs do not exist to supersede the work of the government or to put the government in a bad light in any way.
The concept of #KitaJagaKita is not meant to imply any failure on the part of the government – it only emphasises the fact that the crisis is so bad, that all of us have a duty to care for one another.
We plead with the government to allow all NGOs that have been distributing food, medicine and other aid to be allowed to continue doing so in a way that is safe and responsible, in full cooperation with the government and in accordance with the health and safety guidelines of the government.
We are certain NGOs involved will continue taking every required measure, including the consistent use of hand sanitisers and masks, social distancing and the minimising of the number people involved.
This crisis is putting the lives of many, many vulnerable Malaysians at risk. We all need to come together and do our part, as a united nation.
