I refer to the news report yesterday about the Phase 4 Vaccination Programme announced by the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Khairy Jamaluddin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the minister, Phase 4 vaccination programme will start soon from June 14. This will include people who are in manufacturing, export, logistics and transport, energy, utilities industries, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Khairy has failed to mention or include another group of people who have always been on the frontline to keep our environment clean and safe since the outbreak of Covid-19 in March, 2020. They are the street cleaners, garbage collectors and security guards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to know, if they are being left out again, from the priority list this round, when they will be expected to be vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calling them the \u201cneglected frontliners\u201d, Lim said cleaners, garbage collectors and security guards are highly exposed…<\/p>Posted by LIM LIP ENG \u6797\u7acb\u8fce<\/a> on Thursday, 10 June 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><\/div>\n\n\n\n


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their contribution to our country is irreplaceable and to call them unsung heroes is not at all exaggerating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The street cleaners, for example, are constantly in touch with the household wastes (contaminated face masks), making them particularly vulnerable to the spread of the virus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So are the security guards who are always in contact with members of the public in both shopping malls and multi-storey residential buildings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

To neglect them would be an injustice committed. Because of their vulnerability and their constant contact with the public, they should be given the due treatments, especially the early Covid-19 vaccination. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

The earlier they are inoculated; the lesser risk they could spread the virus in the neighbourhoods they work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a shame, therefore, if the government fails to look into their welfare, especially when so many of them do not have the proper safety gears to protect them against the infection of the Covid-19 virus, and they, in return, infect others in the community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
