"This includes the situation facing documented workers, undocumented workers, workers in different sectors including domestic workers, all those within the refugee communities, foreign spouses, the stateless and others.
"Every effort needs to be made to ensure that all these people are able to access the vaccination programme and are not excluded on any basis, including by a possibility that they cannot afford it," said MWR2R in a virtual press conference on issues faced by migrant workers on Monday (Jan 25).

In vaccine we trust, provided...

National plan: Securing vaccines for the population is a priority.
The MCO and even the just declared Emergency are only stopgap measures. What we need is a national vaccination plan that covers all bases.
SO a state of Emergency has been declared until Aug 1 to fight the Covid-19 pandemic that has become a deadly threat to the people’s health and the economy.
The King’s proclamation came just a day before we begin another round of movement control order in the federal territories and five states, my Selangor included, and conditional MCO for another six.
Declaring an Emergency may sound ominous and scary, especially to older Malaysians who remember it as a draconian measure used during the communist insurrection and May 13 race riots in 1969 – but this is not the case in 2021.
