Root Cause of Malaysian Covid19 Cases

“With companies in the US and EU starting to operate at full force, it is imperative that Malaysia, as a key manufacturing hub, has to support these markets as part of their global supply chains," said FMM president Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai (pic).

Because they are vaccinated or tested. China did it months ago. Malaysian manufacturers choose to ignore Covid threat and tgerefore lie about wanting to follow SOP.

He said those in the essential sectors are unable to sustain their 60% capacity operations and that they were also “tormented” with almost daily checks and raids by multiple enforcement teams.

Soh added that some of these teams were even accompanied by media personnel and said that such checks and raids disrupted operations.

Scared by the truth that these factories do not really want to comply with the SOP? Media just records what are actually happening. Similarly for the enforcement agencies. They will disrupt operations that do not comply with SOP, that is already lenient in not requiring vaccination or testing.

As a result, SMEs with approvals are now also fearful to operate, ” he said, adding that workplace clusters have not been the root of infections.

He said that despite having all the necessary SOPs and precautionary and preventive measures in place at the workplace, they had to bear the outcome and blame arising from the lack of SOP compliance in the community.

Community clusters contributed only to 500 cases out of the 7000 cases, and yet still blame the community? Accusing the community of not following SOP without any proof and yet scared when the media started checking on the work places.

He also called for the Government to pump prime the economy with a RM200 billion Stimulus Package with RM30 billion direct fiscal injection including some of the following forms of assistance to ensure that businesses are able to sustain jobs and operations. 

And yet not wanting to spend much less on vaccination and testing. Vaccines only cost rm3 billion for the whole of Malaysia. Complying with SOP is even cheaper. Just wear masks and improve ventilation.

Tracking U.S. COVID-19 Vaccine Donations Published: Sep 22, 2021 https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-covid-19/issue-brief/tracking-u-s-covid-19-vaccine-donations/ Facebook   Twitter   LinkedIn   Email   Print There remains a  significant gap in vaccine access  across the world, with only 2% of the population in low-income countries (LICs) receiving at least one vaccine dose, compared to 30% in lower-middle-income countries (LMICs), 54% in upper-middle-income countries (UMICs), and nearly two-thirds in high-income countries (HICs). One way to address this gap is for countries that have vaccines to donate them to countries in need, either via the multilateral COVAX mechanism or directly to countries and/or regions via bilateral donations. For its part, the U.S. government has pledged to donate at least 1.1 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccine for global use by 2022 and has been delivering doses to countries around the world since June. 1  To understand more abo...
