Government should encourage this! Why, because vaccine is free to all! But the rich, they can afford to pay premium and jump que! So not a problem at all!

But must coordinate with government so that there's no fake vaccine passport! Or those who indeed get vaccinated only to be told they are not recognized!

Cannot lah. For every patient who opts to be vaccinated in a private hospital, the less commission that fellas will get.
