I am not sure the vaccine is useful or not. CEO have better answer.

Do you have to wear GLOVES to give a vaccine shot?

I am holding my GLOVES. I will only sell when ASP come down but not stock price come down.

I buy vaccine logistic by using the GLOVEs profit as hedging to vaccine news.

• How to distribute the ultra-cold vaccine? I am allocating my GLOVE profit to TASCO Cold Chain to hedge vaccine news
• How to distribute the ultra-cold vaccine? I am allocating my GLOVE profit to FREIGHT to hedge vaccine news
• KGB's dry ice plant to flourish from Pfizer's vaccine success?

KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 13): In a rare rebuke to the media, Top Glove Corp Bhd urged reporters to honour the principles of ethical journalism by verifying the news they publish about the rubber glove manufacturer to enable readers to have access to accurate, balanced and transparent reporting amid a rising number of Covid-19 cases.

The rebuke followed a video clip, which Top Glove claimed as misleading and damaging to the company’s reputation.

In a statement yesterday, Top Glove said the company was responding to a video published by VICE News on its YouTube channel on Thursday titled "This PPE Factory Isn't Protecting Its Workers Against COVID".

Top Glove claimed issues raised in the video "are thoroughly misleading and damaging to the company’s good-standing reputation".

"Please be informed, too, that the claim of workers having to go through three medical examinations before coming to Malaysia to work for Top Glove is false. A worker would go through a maximum of two medical examinations. Each medical examination is valid for two months, and it is an exceedingly rare case that a worker is not deployed within two months,” Top Glove claimed.

"As of Dec 8, approximately 94% of our workers who had undergone testing were ready to resume work after being cleared of Covid-19. This included workers who had tested negative and undergone the stipulated quarantine period from close contact tracing,” the company said.

Top Glove said it stands by the hard work and dedication of its team in ensuring the company continues to deliver high-quality and essential medical gloves to first responders and frontliners all over the world in a timely and efficient manner.

The numbers of Covid-19 cases have risen globally. In South Korea, for example, news reports, quoting the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, indicated that the nation saw 1,030 new coronavirus infections today, the second daily record in a row as the country that had initial success controlling Covid-19 battled a harsh third wave.

Of the new cases, 1,002 were locally transmitted, and the figure brought the country's total to 42,766 infections with 580 deaths, Reuters reported.

In Germany, it was reported that data from the Robert Koch Institute for infectious diseases showed today the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the country had increased by 20,200 to 1,320,716.

The country's Covid-19 death toll had risen by 321 to 21,787, Reuters reported the tally as showing.

Malaysia in spotlight

Malaysia was also in the spotlight. The country reported yesterday 1,937 newly-confirmed Covid-19 cases and nine additional deaths due to the pandemic, according to heath director general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

A day ago on Friday, the nation recorded 1,810 new confirmed cases, according Noor Hisham’s statement.

Yesterday, Bernama, quoting Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, reported that the number of new cases detected rose after the government enforced mandatory screening of all foreign workers in the country.

“There are 888,000 [foreign] workers in the country ... 'just imagine' if 5% are positive. The figure would increase drastically and we have to be prepared with a sufficient number of beds.

“What I want to stress here is that ‘as long as’ it does not spread in the community, we would be able to control it as the number involves only foreign workers,” Ismail Sabri added.

On Friday, Top Glove’s share price closed down nine sen or 1.29% at RM6.90, giving the stock a market capitalisation of about RM56.58 billion.

The counter saw some 44 million shares traded.
