Business groups say the faster people are vaccinated, the faster the economy can recover.
Shaun Cheah, executive director of the Malaysian International Chamber of Commerce and Industry , called on the government to consider allowing the private sector to “take the bull by the horns” and help the government speed up and expand vaccinations through a private sector vaccination initiative. “With our neighbours having a head start, and an estimated quicker conclusion of their vaccination programme, they are ahead in attracting much needed domestic and foreign investment.Malaysia’s National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme is scheduled to be completed next February.
Economist Shankaran Nambiar of the Malaysian Institute of Economic Research agreed with the proposal in principle but said it must not cut into the supplies that the government has negotiated or received through Covid-19 diplomacy. “It should be viewed as an attempt to contribute to social welfare and to shoulder some part of the government’s cost burden.
Private healthcare centres can complement as vaccination centres for govt vaccines. This will speed up govt vaccination program.
Oh.. Create new Q.. Hari ini I dpt belajar sesuatu.. Lain kali I potong Q.. Bile kena marah.. I ckp la I creating new Q..
Good idea but not now.
Maybe later when supply exceeds demand can private entities be allowed to buy the vaccines. Doing so now will only cause the price of this scarce resource to increase to the detriment of the poor. Sad at how selfish some are ...
Private sector has an advantage when speaking to manufacturers. They will b able to pay more per dose to secure it quickly as they r immunising their staff only. But can't do Indiv deals as will b chaos. Best likely to get private hospitals to drive this. Infrastructure there.
These self opiniated rich BS MFs should just shut the fcuk up and let the Govt roll out the vaccines as and when they arrive.. to the deserving.. Are the private hospitals pushing this initiative?
So the rich and affordable can get first? Moronic stupid class based idea..
