Kota Bharu kata dah mansuh, Ketereh kata dalam proses. Kedua-dua menteri ini duduk dalam mesyuarat kabinet yang sama.
Kota Bharu dengan Ketereh ni pun sebelah-sebelah je dekat Kelantan sana. Tapi ya lah, satu pangkah Pas, satu pangkah Umno. Mana kenal erti setuju

Ipoh Barat @mkula is asking about vaccination for stateless people.
He himself grew up stateless, holding a red IC.
Bung kata kampung-kampung pedalaman Sabah takde phone line, susah nak sign up for vaccination, nak call semua.
Why is that Bung?
Bung asks for single dose vaccines for Sabah.
On Monday @tzafrul_aziz already revealed that Sabah will be getting single dose Cansino and Johnson & Johnson vaccines.
Bung taknak bagi laluan dekat Sepang:
“Kita bagi laluan, dia yang berucap!”

Hulu Langat talking about why Finance Minister was made to be minister-in-charge for Covid recovery:
“Apabila melihat prestasi Menteri Kesihatan dan dua timbalannya saya insaf dan saya sedar memang wajar diberi kepada menteri selain mereka.”
Hulu Langat brought up MySejahtera
Okay wasn’t paying much attention just now, but now it’s KJ’s turn to answer questions.
@Khairykj said mRNA vaccines have never been used before so Malaysia took a safe decision to wait for proper evaluation before procuring the Pfizer vaccine
On Singapore, @Khairykj said Temasek invested in BioNTech in 2020 to develop the Pfizer vaccine.
“I assume if Temasek owns the company, they get earlier access.”
Malaysia is procuring a new batch of Pfizer doses soon for 2022, that is specific for booster doses and for vaccinating children
On booster dose: Masih menunggu syor pakar sama ada perlu atau tidak booster dose.
Also looking into mixing vaccine brands.
“Kita akan dapat syor pakar dari real world data dan data klinikal sama ada ia selamat”
Sinovac tidak dikeluarkan daripada portfolio PICK, kerajaan cuma sudah selesai guna. Nothing stopping the government to procure more later if the need arise.
Gov tak sarankan buat antibody testing, based on FDA & CDC recommendation.
Standardisation and guidelines for such tests belum ada.
Sabah will get single dose Cansino first when we get it for kawasan pedalaman.
But KJ does not rule out the need for a booster dose later on.
“It may well be the case that after 6 months we see antibody menurun dan we have to go back to pedalaman.”
On variant:
Pfizer and AstraZeneca is effective against Delta variant.
Sinovac also shows good protection against the variant.
“Any vaccine is a good vaccine for you, walaupun berlaku variant Delta sekarang”.
In practical cases, gov can consider requests via MySejahtera Helpdesk to change vaccine types, particularly for students who need vaccines that comply with the regulations of the country they are going to
@DrDzul asking if Malaysia wants to invest in the production of second generation coronavirus vaccines [not limited to SARS-CoV-2].
“Adakah Malaysia bersedia melakukan satu pelaburan yang besar?”
If suppliers fulfil its obligations to supply vaccines to the government, and can supply more, government can open for private market in a controlled manner; with a ceiling price etc - @Khairykj
Interesting day today at the Dewan Rakyat. We will get to hear from @DrAdhamBaba and @Khairykj on Covid and vaccination. Should be more pressing than yesterday, though it could also be more depressing as well
