KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 — Malaysia Rail Link Sdn Bhd is utilising three of the East Coast Rail Link project base camps in East Coast states as industry vaccination centres to facilitate the exclusive vaccination of about 6,500 personnel and field workers.
Ministry of Transport Malaysia secretary general Datuk Isham Ishak said the ECRL base camps at Dungun and Chukai in Terengganu as well as at Maran in Pahang would operate as PPVINs in line with the National Recovery Plan’s strategy of returning the country’s economic sectors back to normalcy towards year-end.
“The approval paves the way for ECRL personnel to receive their first dose within the month,” he said. MRL said the vaccination exercise is to be carried out at the ECRL Dungun base camp on Aug 16-18 and ECRL Chukai base camp on Aug 16-17 while ECRL Maran base camp is also expected to kick off soon.
