Anonymous 15897060865429524: Allowing private hospitals to sell an assortment of Covid-19 vaccines that paying customers can choose will create an imbalanced situation where the rich will take up the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines and will be vaccinated faster. The poor will continue to wait in line and be left with Chinese Sinovac and Russian Sputnik V vaccines.
It will create a situation where Covid-19 becomes a poor people s disease and clusters will be focused in poor areas or Covid-19 ghettos .

When Mahathir stepped down, he apparently handed about RM200 million cash to Abdullah Ahmad Badawi together with other Umno assets. So, did Badawi keep the cash under trustees or in secret accounts?
In early 2020, the account had RM193 million in cash and most of it was transferred to Kelab Prihatin Graduan, whose chairperson was listed as an Umno financial director.
