They also voiced their support for Malaysia’s call for universal access to the Covid-19 vaccines.
Facebook user Nyuk Foh Sim supported the call for equal and rapid access to vaccines.
“When we have access, we must take advantage of the situation and expedite herd immunity, ” he said.
He also urged the government not to “bring in any political or other petty considerations to impair the process.”
On Monday, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had said in his address during the closing session of the 74th World Health Assembly held virtually in Geneva, Switzerland, that vaccine equity was still a major issue, adding that the world could not win this war against the virus unless everyone had equal and rapid access to vaccines.
PETALING JAYA: Malaysians have given the idea of Covid-19 vaccinations trucks the thumbs up, although they are hoping that the national immunisation programme is ramped up with more action on the ground.
PETALING JAYA: As Covid-19 deaths and infections continue to set daily records, Malaysians are asking how they can keep safe from the disease that has claimed more than 2,000 lives.
PETALING JAYA: As Covid-19 cases continue to record a surge in new daily infections and deaths, Malaysians have called for a full implementation of the movement control order (MCO) and stricter standard operating procedures (SOPs).
On social media, many Malaysians argued that the only way to bring down Covid-19 figures is to enforce a complete lockdown nationwide, given the slew of SOP violations.
“Please impose a total MCO for three weeks nationwide. Businesses may suffer but it will pick up stronger when people are healthy.
“Stop all the blame on the economic downfall just to satisfy certain quarters. The MCO now is like a pre-celebration for nothing and people’s lives are in danger,” said Lee Dennis on Facebook on Wednesday (May 19).
