I REALLY LIKE THIS PLAN. This will encourage more ppl to take a jab. Hope the compensation for vaccine death is really high like million or few hundred k.
Imagine they mistakenly ask Grab or panda food to deliver pfizer vaccine. Keong kan liao, stock market crash 10% immediately. No lah it wont happen, we are better than that.
As far as I am aware, Malaysia would be the 1st country in the world to compensate its citizens for deaths arising from these vaccines injections. Really Salute them! Bearing in mind that, to date, citizens/foreigners cannot sue these vaccine manufacturers and/or the Government/s that received these vaccines, in any cases of deaths occurring. All of these vaccines - Pfizer/BioNTech, Astra Zeneca, Moderna, Sinopharm, Sinovac - been given "Emergency" approvals by CDC, governments like USA, UK, China, Australia etc - even though the critical Stage 3 Final Trials were not completed for Final Certification.

Malaysian Academy of Sciences fellow Datuk Dr Madeline Berma said economists predicted that Malaysia would be able to revive its economy starting in the third quarter of this year, depending on the smooth implementation of the vaccination programmes
.“This is in line with the forecast issued by the Economic Planning Unit which expects the country’s economy to recover around 4.5 to 5.0%, ” she said in a special coverage of the first batch of Covid-19 vaccines arrival to Malaysia on BernamaTV on yesterday. Madeline said the services sector was one of the sectors that needed to be given priority in the vaccination programme, besides the manufacturing sector to help increase production rates.
She hopes with the national immunisation programmme underway, the country’s tourism and export sectors could also be mobilised again to open more economic opportunities for industry players. “The country’s tourism and export sectors have been badly affected by the closure of national borders since the Movement Control Order was imposed, ” she said.

Cruise ship operator Genting Hong Kong Ltd and its associate, MV Werften, are in talks with the German federal and state government for the release of additional rescue funds worth US$600 million (RM2.43 billion) to keep the financially troubled shipyard group afloat.
Maritime and marine news portal The Maritime Executive reported yesterday MV Werften highlighted that the negotiations for a rescue package included maintaining the current cruise ship construction projects at the three eastern shipyards and reducing its workforce.
MV Werften added it had begun talks with the labor unions and government authorities to begin a transition programme that could see as many as 1,200 of the group's 3,000 lose their jobs.The prerequisite for the granting of federal loan is the adjustment of the number of staff to the order situation.
The State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, where the shipyards are located, and the federal authorities had provided an initial bridge loan from Germany's Federal Economic Stabilization Fund (WSF) valued at US$228 million (RM921.53 million).The loan was intended to cover ongoing operating costs including wages and salaries of employees at the shipyard sites.
Ministry of Economics in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, earlier this year the shipyard group also received another US$65 million (RM262.72 million) to save the operation from insolvency. Commenting on the financial aid, the minister said that their focus was on providing the finances necessary to maintain near-term work and employment through the construction of the two 200,000 gross ton cruise ships currently being built for Genting's Dream Cruises.
Work on the first of the Global Dream cruise ships began in September 2018, followed by her sister ship a year later. MV Verften also suspended work in the spring of 2020 as the global supply line was affected due to the Covid-19 outbreak.on long-term downturn in the cruise ship industry, MV Werften said it expects to refocus the yard's work to include tankers and platform vessels.In 2016, Genting HK bought MV Werften and the latter has been building three ships for Genting, namely the Crystal Endeavor, as well as the Global Dream and the Global 2, due for completion in 2021 and 2022, respectively.
