MAY 5 This narrative may not go down very well with the many young Malaysians who have successfully secured their AstraZeneca-University Oxford (AZ) doses.
It was a frantic scrambling by the tech savvy for the 268,000 doses of the AZ vaccine. All vaccine doses were snapped within a space of four hours.
Now that they have jumped the queue, some of them have even begun to rationalize the legitimacy of the first come first served vaccine roll out!

A check by Bernama at WTC found that those with appointments arrived as early as 8am.
