KUALA LUMPUR: The National Recovery Plan is timely as the country needs to institute measures to cushion the effects of Covid-19 as soon as possible, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.
PETALING JAYA: Vaccinations should not be made mandatory and the government should instead embark on a massive Covid-19 vaccine promotion exercise to encourage vaccinations in the community, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.
The Alliance for Safe Community chairman said the government needs to ensure that they can secure the supply of Covid-19 vaccines as promised and leave no stones unturned to promote and advocate vaccinations, especially through the dissemination of scientific facts and data to the community.
He said that the Alliance does not agree that vaccination should be mandatory as it is a question of human rights and the government cannot force vaccination upon people.
KUALA LUMPUR: The total lockdown announced by the prime minister is inevitable as the number of Covid-19 patients keeps going up, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.
PETALING JAYA: The quick action of Prasarana Malaysia Bhd and Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong on the LRT Kelana Jaya line train collision should be commended but any investigation into the incident must be conducted transparently, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.
