Sarawak Report immediately queried what appeared to be a global bombshell. According to the statement, also reported by the Malaysian news agency Bernama, The two royal personages are seemingly in negotiations to trial no less than 500,000 Covid 19 vaccine doses on Malaysian citizens (or perhaps it is migrant workers who will be targeted in the ‘voluntary’ scheme?).

New Delhi: If sources in Home Ministry and Ministry of External Affairs are to be believed, New Delhi cannot get fugitive business tycoon Vijay Mallya extradited any time soon and India has almost given up on it for the time being as he has apparently applied for asylum and the proceedings may drag on for years together.
