The Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin should commission two reports for consideration by the Cabinet next Wednesday – why Malaysia is having one of the longest waves of the Covid-19 pandemic in the world and how to make the national Covid-19 vaccination rollout not only a success but to accelerate and complete it by National Day-Malaysia Day period.
Yesterday, it was reported that the new Covid-19 cases have risen to 1,576 cases from the previous day of 1,213 new Covid-19 cases – though it was the 14th day the daily increase of new Covid-19 cases had fallen below 2,000 cases.
What were the causes which resulted in Malaysia having one of the longest waves of the Covid-19 epidemic in Malaysia – as the third wave in Malaysia which started in September as a result of the super-spreader event of the Sabah state general election has not yet been fully brought under control as to see the daily increase of new Covid-19 cases reduced to triple-digit and even double-digit figures.
The report on why Malaysia is having one of the longest waves of the Covid-19 pandemic should also be made public so that the whole nation can benefit from it – as there are concerns about a fourth wave of the Covid-19 epidemic in Malaysia.
The report on how to make the national Covid-19 vaccination rollout a success, and accelerate it to complete the rollout by the National Day-Malaysia Day period between August 31 to September 16 should also be made public.
