A photo of a Malaysian newspaper article has been shared widely on Facebook and Twitter alongside a claim that a Malaysian minister said Muslims and non-Muslims would be given different brands of Covid-19 vaccines. The claim is misleading: the Malaysian newspaper issued a correction after it published an erroneous paragraph about Malaysia s Covid-19 vaccine rollout. The Malaysian minister has denied claims that Muslims and non-Muslims have been offered different brands of Covid-19 vaccine.
The image was published on Facebook here on June 25, 2021. It has been shared more than 100 times.
It shows a newspaper report that quotes Khairy Jamaluddin, the Malaysian coordinating minister for Covid-19 immunisation. He is also the minister for science and technology.
