EVEN before the Olympics began in Tokyo on Friday, Malaysia won big time on the global stage: our vaccination rate was among the fastest in the world.
We hit over 450,000 doses a day, outperforming many Western countries. In just the last three days, from Thursday to Saturday, some 1.4 million doses were doled out.
On Thursday, Malaysia issued 507,050 jabs – the highest number recorded in a day.
This is what Malaysia Boleh truly means.
Some 16.5 million people have been vaccinated as of Friday, with 5.3 million completing their two doses.

The political firestorm and the strains of Covid-19 and mutations have upended decades of projected progress and journey towards prosperity and modernisation that were hoped to culminate, ironically, in 2020.
Little do Malaysians know that the common dream, which has long been embedded in our minds, would have evaporated in such a devastating and unprecedented crisis, and emergency that the nation and the world over are facing.
