  • Reply to YB Dr. Ong Kian Ming, Member of Parliament for Bangi and Dr
    Reply to YB Dr. Ong Kian Ming, Member of Parliament for Bangi and Dr. Kelvin Yii, Member of Parliament for Bandar Kuching I thank you for your questions and your efforts in increasing registration among people in your respective constituencies. I will take your questions in turn below. 1. What is the geographical distribution of those above 60 who have yet to register for the COVID19 vaccine? Currently, registration for those above 60 stands at 40.1%. It ranges from 56.8% in Putrajaya, to 22.9% in Sabah. For States with low registration numbers such as in Sabah, Kelantan (25.1%), Terengganu (29.4%), Kedah (30.9%) and Pahang (31.5%), we are working with MKN, NADMA and the state governments on an outreach programme to encourage people to register, particularly for senior citizens. The outreach programme is not only to help them register for PICK but also to convince them on why it is important for people their age to be vaccinated against COVID-19. We also assure them that the vaccines are safe, effective and if they have any religious concerns, we also reassure them that the vaccines are halal. We are also working with the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development to register and vaccinate residents and caregivers at elderly care homes. Mobile vaccination teams will be sent to the care homes to vaccinate on site. 2. What steps have been taken to work with state governments in order to increase the vaccine registration rate? I have spoken to all Menteris Besar and Chief Ministers virtually over the last month and a half.

    Selangor MB Khalid to move to Port Klang? MalaysiaKini.com April 4, 2013 Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim might not be defending his Ijok state assembly seat in the coming polls, with the Port Klang state assembly seat being touted as a likely destination. According to sources familiar with PKR’s election committee and seat allocations in the state, there is fear among some sections of Selangor PKR that Abdul Khalid might not retain the Ijok seat should he decide to contest there again. This is believed to be due to the strains of his job as MB, which has rendered him unable to be consistently present in Ijok. Under the Kuala Selangor PKR division, it has been known for infighting over the past few years. Abdul Khalid is also believed to have been receiving a cold response from the constituents when he does pay visits there, with turnouts at events being less than encouraging. Party sources also said that Abdul Khalid was even jeered by a crowd during a recent event, leading the party to really question the support that he has in the constituency. A few alternatives Abdul Khalid won Ijok by a majority of 1,920 votes in 2008 against Umno’s Mohamed Sayuti Said, and the constituency consists of 50 percent Malay voters, 32 percent Indians, and 18 percent Chinese. While there are a few alternatives that are currently being weighed up, Abdul Khalid might be fielded by the party in Port Klang in an attempt to show the voters that the PKR still takes the seat seriously.
