KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia said on Wednesday it has signed an agreement with China to cooperate on the development of a safe and efficacious vaccine, as part of efforts to combat the Covid-19 pandemic.
Under the agreement, in force for an initial period of five years, the Southeast Asian nation will be given priority access to Covid-19 vaccines developed by China. Both will share knowledge and expertise and facilitate scientific and technological capabilities to advance vaccine development in their countries, Malaysia said in a joint ministerial statement. Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin signed the agreement with his Chinese counterpart Wang Zhigang in a virtual ceremony.
Cooperation between Malaysia and China under the agreement would be supervised by a committee chaired by the foreign affairs ministers of both countries that was formed in October to address post-pandemic challenges.
"Both countries will also support the participation of their public and private sectors including universities, institutions, societies and organisations in joint collaborative projects," the Malaysian ministries said.
KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 26): After a heated session during Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz’s wrapping-up speech on Budget 2021, the bill was approved at the policy stage. Towards the end of the session, Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun asked for a show of hands of those for and against the budget, and decided that there were more Members of Parliament (MPs) who agreed with the budget, although Pokok Sena MP Datuk Mahfuz Omar interjected and motioned for a tally of the votes. However, this required 15 MPs to support the call for a tally. Only 13 stood up in support of the tally, according to the Speaker. “There are fewer than 15 people [supporting the call for a tally]. There are more voices [in agreement with the budget]. The bill will see its second reading now,” he said. The wrap-up by the minister was a heated one as ruling and opposition MPs furiously interjected for clarifications of certain issues, including the expansion of the Employees Provident Fund's (EPF) i-Sinar facility to include those receiving pay cuts due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Subang MP Wong Chen claimed that the EPF’s inflows amount to no more than RM20 billion per year, and therefore could not cover the total increased allocation of RM70 billion for the i-Sinar facility. “Where is the EPF going to find the extra RM50 billion? Are they going to sell their shareholdings in listed companies on Bursa Malaysia? If this hits the headlines tomorrow, we will have a big problem,” he said. However, Tengku Zafrul clarified that the EPF is seeing inflows of RM80 billion per year, adding that the Ministry of Finance (MoF) had looked into the matter. “I would like to correct the facts. We conducted a detailed analysis of this for over a week. Actually, the inflows are not RM20 billion, RM30 billion or RM40 billion. It is RM80 billion per year,” responded the minister. Following that, Wong pointed out that withdrawals by contributors, amounting to RM40 billion to RM50 billion per year, had to be taken into account as well — before his microphone was muted by the Speaker. The session quickly devolved into a shouting match among the MPs, which resulted in intermittent muting of the MPs’ microphones by a visibly irritated Speaker. “This is embarrassing behaviour. We are debating on the budget and this is how we are behaving? The rakyat are watching all of us here!” he said. Other points mentioned during Tengku Zafrul's speech included a reduction in allocation for the Special Affairs Department (JASA) to make way for increases in other allocations, although he did not elaborate. On the various proposals for a further extension of the loan moratorium, he said all who are eligible — whether they are in the B40, M40 or T20 category — will be able to request for various forms of assistance, which also include reducing or rescheduling loan repayments, from their respective banks.

The ministry recorded 1,069 recoveries today, bringing the number of recoveries in the country to 61,273 cases or 84.3% of all total cases.Two deaths were recorded — one each reported in Perak and Johor — raising the total number of fatalities from Covid-19 to 382.
Menteri Besar Datuk Ir Hasni Mohammad said the increase in the number of positive cases involved several districts. Staff from government agencies and state government-linked companies (GLCs) are also undergoing a quarantine process.We really want to open the border as soon as possible because the Johor economy depends on the neighbouring country for employment opportunities and the cross-border economy that is to Johor’s advantage.
However the state government is very grateful to the federal government for agreeing to implement the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) in certain areas instead of the state as a whole, he said.As at yesterday, a total of 1,209 positive Covid-19 cases were reported in Johor, with 60 of them being new cases.The closure of the Malaysia-Singapore border began on March 18, when the government imposed the Movement Control Order (MCO) in the country to curb the spread of Covid-19 infection.
United Arab Emirates Claims China’s Sinopharm Vaccine Is 100% Effective At Preventing Moderate And Severe Covid-19
TOPLINE The experimental vaccine developed by China National Pharmaceutical Group, also known as Sinopharm, is 86% effective at preventing Covid-19 infection and 100% effective at preventing severe and moderate disease, health officials from the United Arab Emirates announced Wednesday, although with scarce detail provided about the trial.
The UAE health ministry cited an interim analysis of a late-stage clinical trial involving 31,000 volunteers as the source of its information, though neither they nor Sinopharm provided any data from the trial to validate the claims such as how many participants were infected or how many actually received the vaccine.
The ministry said “no serious safety concerns” were observed, though, again, no information on side effects was provided.
The ministry said the announcement is a “significant vote of confidence by the UAE’s health authorities in the safety and efficacy of this vaccine.”
The ministry added that it had officially registered the vaccine at the request of the manufacturer, which it says could eventually lead to the shot’s widespread authorization.
KUALA LUMPUR: An eventful day is expected in Parliament on Tuesday (Dec 15) as Budget 2021 undergoes its third and final reading before it is voted on. A small group of protestors gathered on the road leading to the Parliament building from about 8.30am, adding to the unfolding drama.
This comes after lawmakers are scheduled to wrap up debates and vote on the final two allocations for the Education and Higher Education ministries at the committee stage. So far, allocations for 25 out 27 ministries have been passed at the committee stage.
The Opposition had called for bloc voting on allocations for more than five ministries, including the Finance Ministry and the Prime Minister's Department, but failed to garner sufficient votes each time. The highest number the Opposition achieved through a bloc vote was on Dec 2, with 104 votes against and 110 for the International Trade and Industry Ministry's RM1.2bil allocation. However, all eyes will be on the Opposition to see if they will call for a bloc vote at the budget's final third reading, which is expected to occur after 2pm on Tuesday (Dec 15). A defeat of the budget at this stage would not lead to a collapse of the government but would be akin to a no-confidence vote against the Perikatan Nasional administration. There has been some rumblings among the Opposition following calls by political veterans Langkawi MP Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Gua Musang MP Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah for MPs to vote based on their conscience should a bloc vote at the third reading is called. Budget 2021 was tabled on Nov 6 and attempts by Pokok Sena MP Datuk Mahfuz Omar to call for a bloc vote at the end of policy stage debates on Nov 26 failed when only 13 MPs stood up in to trigger a bloc vote, two short of the required 15 under Parliament's Standing Order.
