PETALING JAYA: Pharmaniaga Bhd, the sole distributor of the Sinovac vaccine in Malaysia, was never contacted by the businessman who claimed that he wanted to purchase two million doses for Penang, says its managing director. They never contacted us and we also did not contact them, Datuk Zulkarnain Md Eusope said during a press conference on Sunday (May 23).
He was asked if the businessman Yong Chee Kong and the company he purportedly represented - Xintai Development Enterprise Ltd - had contacted them for the purchase of Covid-19 vaccine.
On Wednesday (May 19), Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said initial checks showed the vaccine donation offer appeared to be bogus.
