Malaysia has promised to get tough with those who refuse to take the Covid-19 vaccines without a valid reason.
“Sorry to say, we will make life very difficult for you if you’re not vaccinated by choice,” health minister Khairy Jamaluddin said at an event in Serdang Hospital on 16 October, The Straits Times reported.
“If you choose not to vaccinate, then we will probably ask you to do regular tests that you have to pay for,” he said.
A plan under the National Testing Strategy, which will be unveiled next week, will explain the actions that Malaysia will take against those who are not vaccinated.
