With the COVAX facility & Pfizer deal we now have doses for 30% of our population. @DrAdhamBaba and I are working hard to close further deals to secure doses up to 70% of our population (preliminary target for herd immunity).
PM @MuhyiddinYassin has also announced that the COVID-19 vaccine that the government procures will be FREE for Malaysians.
The first shipment of Pfizer vaccines of 1mn doses will arrive in Q1 2021. This will be used to vaccinate 500k frontline workers first. Then we will prioritise high risk groups (elderly, those with comorbidity), followed by general population.

Dengan pelaksanaan PKPB, sangat penting kita mempunyai kebolehan untuk melaksanakan pengesahan kontak rapat & contact tracing. MyTrace dibangunkan untuk melaksanakan pengesahan kontak rapat melalui teknologi Bluetooth.
Data kontak rapat disimpan dalam telefon pengguna selama 21 hari secara anonymised. Data geo-lokasi tidak dikesan atau dikumpul. Jika ada kes positif, KKM akan hubungi semua kontak rapat dari data MyTrace dalam telefon pengguna tersebut.
Pakej Rangsangan Ekonomi Rakyat (PRIHATIN) merupakan usaha kerajaan untuk melindungi rakyat & menyokong para peniaga & pekerja yang menjadi tulang belakang ekonomi rakyat.
Nilai pakej ini adalah RM250bn (17% drpd KDNK) berbanding RM67bn yang diumum untuk menangani krisis kewangan pada tahun 2009.
Suntikan fiskal dari kerajaan RM25bn yang baki adalah nilai simpanan dan perkhidmatan yang dapat digunapaki atas keputusan dan rundingan kerajaan (contoh moratorium bank hasil dari rundingan BNM & bank2 atas permintaan kerajaan).
: @MOFmalaysia has announced its B40 health coverage scheme will come into affect 1 Jan. Recipients will be covered up to RM8k for 36 types of critical illnesses. The fund to pay for this scheme will begin at RM2bn. I debated this matter in Parliament.
Specifically I wanted to find out how the government was paying for this. Would the government be paying certain insurers the premium for the B40 recipients? Turns out the initial RM2bn is a quid pro quo arrangement with Great Eastern, a Singaporean insurer.
Under the 2009 Liberalisation of the Financial Services, there was a 70 per cent cap on foreign insurers owning local insurance businesses in Malaysia. That meant insurers like GE, Tokio Marine, Zurich had to sell off 30 per cent of their Malaysian business to locals.
A serious allegation was made against the previous government yesterday in Parliament regarding unpaid GST input tax claims. Minister of Finance said RM19bn was misappropriated and therefore not paid back to businesses who had made claims on their input tax.
I made two points. 1) I asked of the RM19bn unpaid input tax claims, how many were because of non compliance with GST regulations, how many the subject of ongoing customs audits and how many unpaid because of “misappropriation”? We have to be clear about the details.
After waffling for a bit about the missing amounts being “certified” Finance Minister finally admitted he did not have a detailed breakdown of why input tax claims were not paid.
UMNO sekarang berada di persimpangan jalan untuk memilih samada mengambil haluan kanan atau tengah. Ke kanan mungkin menang sorak sementara. Tetapi pasti lingkup 10-15 tahun lagi. Haluan tengah bukan mudah. Sukar difahami akar umbi. Tetapi itulah jalan yang ada untuk survive.
Jika modal untuk PRU15 hanya dengan momokan orang Melayu dengan isu seperti pelantikan bukan Melayu sebagai AG, Ketua Hakim dll, lupakan sahaja impian menawan semula Putrajaya. Keresahan Melayu memang ada, tetapi perkara ini kecil berbanding isu ekonomi, sosial dll.
Sejak selesai pemilihan UMNO, apa yang parti saya buat? Main sentimen kaum, kutip tabung untuk mantan Presiden dan repeat semula. Tak salah kita bersolidariti dengan DSN tetapi takkan itu sahaja UMNO “baharu”. Dah kena pukulan maut semasa PRU14, masih pekak terhadap suara rakyat.
