PETALING JAYA: While many Malaysians agreed with the two-week nationwide full lockdown to curb the spread of Covid-19, some are urging the government to speed up the vaccination programme. Internet user Jennifer Chung said the implementation of a full lockdown was “way overdue”. “I hope this is a REAL lockdown this time, ” she said when commenting on the news article on The Star’s Facebook page. Vinodh Selvarajoo said he hoped only genuine essential services would be allowed while other businesses should be shut during the period. “Just hope Manjaku (that is) selling baby diapers (is) still open, (I can’t remember if) it’s under essential services or not, ” she commented.
