KUALA LUMPUR, March 6: Like other countries around the world, Malaysia was not spared the fury of the Covid-19 pandemic and suffer the devastating consequences.
With over 310,000 cases of infection nationwide and more than 1,000 deaths, the pandemic, which was first detected in late 2019, also wreaked havoc on the country’s economic sector as never seen before.
With the kick-start of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme on Feb 24, recovery seems imminent, which means that not only will the people be able to breath a sigh of relief, the government will get the boost it needs to resuscitate the economy and proceed with its development agenda.
