The situation at the Section 21 Muslim Cemetery in Shah Alam was not like any ordinary day yesterday, with rows of hearses seen entering and leaving the area for the burial process, believed to involve remains of Covid-19 patients.

A sombre mood was felt outside the cemetery, with cries being heard and waves of holy verses from the Quran being recited by the next-of-kin of the dead, who waited patiently since 4.30pm.
