More than seven months after the World Health Organisation declared the end of Covid-19 as a public health emergency of international concern – albeit not as a global threat – Malaysia and the world are grappling with an increasing number of cases, a trend that is unlikely to end as the world heads into end-of-year festivities.
There has been no instruction from the government to make it mandatory for Malaysians to get booster jabs following the increase in Covid-19 cases, which have gone viral on social media, said Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil.
Health experts argue against making the third Covid-19 booster dose mandatory for the public, emphasising that such a move could trigger unwarranted fears and unease among them, given the sensitivity of the matter.
The prosecution in the trial of six policemen and a civilian who are charged with killing an e-hailing driver will adduce to show that the murder took place on January 13, 2023, where the deceased was lured out of a hotel in Tawau and ordered to drive with others in a car to an oil palm plantation where he was killed.
