As Malaysia moves slowly but surely to protect its citizens from Covid-19, more needs to be done on all fronts to combat the pandemic. If at the start of our National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme I was ambivalent towards those Malaysians who choose not to register and get vaccinated, I have now changed my opinion. True, some may argue that such a move would be akin to the country veering towards a Gestapo-like state. This Phase Four of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme is of extreme importance because the country needs these sectors to be operational during the current lockdown. As proven in countries that have vaccinated more than 50% of their population, there is an enormous pent-up demand in terms of economic activity and consumer demand.
