BHARU: Kelantan Mufti, Datuk Mohamad Shukri Mohamad, said that his experience after being infected with Covid-19 last year, and having to be treated in hospital for 16 days, made him realise the importance of vaccination.
Therefore, he advised the public, especially those aged 60 and above, not to worry about the vaccine administered because it did not contain banned substances.
“I urge Muslims who will be receiving the Covid-19 shots to do so with full confidence. The public need not worry because it does not hurt at all. Maybe, a slight tingling in the shoulder after the injection, if any,” he said.
Companies and officials flout forest-clearing moratorium in Papua, report finds
A new Greenpeace report has identified a litany of loopholes and violations in Indonesia’s forest and palm oil moratoriums as well as other forest protection regulations.
The report alleges that government officials routinely flout their own regulations to continue issuing licenses to plantation companies in the country’s eastern Papua region.
Among the alleged violations are the constant changes to maps of forest that should be off-limits for plantations, and forest-clearing permits granted to companies that don’t meet the requirements.
JAKARTA A litany of loopholes and violations have undercut the Indonesian government’s forest protection policies, allowing oil palm companies to continue obtaining licenses to clear rainforests for plantations, according to a new report.
