From business point of view dont think is viable. since msia is going to use 2 chinese vaccines. why sinopharm want to fight own china vaccines in msia market. make no sense also. Correct?
That is why agreement sign valid for 3 year . ( end 2023) . Investment for long term. No short cut . Private sector vaccine will only come to play after government sector vaccine completed. So , it could be 6 months to a years later.
Malaysia to intensify Covid-19 vaccine development with UAE — Agong Bernama / Bernama
December 30, 2020 01:47 am +08 Malaysia to intensify Covid-19 vaccine development with UAE — Agong -A +A
KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 29): To overcome the Covid-19 pandemic, Malaysia is looking forward to intensifying efforts on vaccine development with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), said the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah.
In an exclusive interview with Emirates News Agency (WAM), Sultan Abdullah said UAE has demonstrated itself as a friend of Malaysia during this difficult period.
"Both countries could explore and intensify relations in the field of Covid-19 vaccine development and strengthen post-pandemic collaboration in the fields of health, education, food security, agriculture, future technology, renewable and clean energy, halal industry and tourism, just to name a few," he was quoted as saying in WAM’s report yesterday (Dec 29).

Smart buildings are no longer a futuristic dream. With the emergence of 5G and the array of technological solutions in the market, the reality of a smart city is closer than it seems. But baby steps are needed to reach that potential and a good place to start is by normalising smart buildings. Read More
Sultan Abdullah was on a five-day special visit to Abu Dhabi, UAE, where he also met with the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Sheikh Mohamed Zayed Al Nahyan who is also Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, and other senior officials.
Meanwhile, Sultan Abdullah also commented on the common values between the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, saying Malaysia, as a trading nation, has placed a strong emphasis on the relation with GCC countries, especially the UAE.
He said, Malaysia’s Islamic identity for decades has been factored into the ties with GCC countries, where issues of importance to the Muslim Ummah have been closely engaged.
"Malaysia also shares many similar and common values with GCC countries. With its strategic geographical location, UAE in particular, has been the main trading hub not only in this region but also in the world for decades,” said Sultan Abdullah.
China-developed vaccines currently make up a very small portion of global pre-orders of more than 7 billion confirmed purchases for Covid-19 vaccines—most of which have been for the candidates from Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca. And demand for the Chinese vaccines has mostly come from low or middle-income countries with a few exceptions.
At least two countries in the Middle East have authorized the Sinopharm vaccine for emergency use for healthcare workers and other priority individuals. The United Arab Emirates was the first to do so, in September, while the kingdom of Bahrain granted approval in November. In Bahrain 7,700 people had participated in the clinical trials there, and as of this month the vaccine is available to frontline healthworkers, according to a government spokesperson.
Members of their ruling families, such as Dubai’s ruler and Bahrain’s crown prince, have been among the prominent early volunteers for the vaccine, making the region an early success in China’s vaccine diplomacy efforts.
Going by pre-orders tracked by a Duke University initiative, Chile has signed up for 60 million doses of Sinovac’s CoronaVac, its biggest order of any of the vaccines. Indonesia has placed 50 million orders for it and Brazil has ordered a similar number, while Turkey has placed orders for 20 million doses (which could go up to 50 million). Indonesia has also ordered 60 million doses of one of the vaccines developed by Sinopharm.
Past vaccine scandals in China could make other potential users hesitant until more data are available about the country’s Covid-19 vaccines.
Read somewhere that sinopharm vaccine is heavily monitored and overseen personally by china government and is controlled at a much higher standard than other vaccine in china with very stringent criteria hence there will be no scandals
jk22 yea you are right china punishment for corruption is execution. China executed the former head of the State Food and Drug Administration for corruption. Dont play play with china
What sinopharm 80% efficacy only. so far the lowest among all reported. 10 persons injeccted 2 failed. no worth to take private jab like this. Correct?

If we collaborate the two articles as shown above, our DYMM AGONG; Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah. is very keen to use SINOPHARM COVID 19 Vaccines as such, not surprised to us that MALAYSIA WILL ULTIMATELY APPROVE THE USAGE OF SINOPHARM VACCINE IN MALAYSIA VERY SOON. JUST WAIT AND SEE.... rather than we argue so much about this issue.
ask you something. if given choice 80% and above 90% both also available in private clinic. you choose which one? will you pay and choose the lower one? common sense right. you choose higher one right. If government choose. will the government choose 80% one if higher one are available? Sinovac is above 90% efficacy thats why was choosen to supply 20.9% in Msia pre order list. Cansino eficacy mot out yet but due to other reason was given the chance as msia want to peneyrate into vaccine industry hoping china will transfer sone technology or at least do rebottling in Msia. Correct?
Its matter of preference. Some ppl will look at efficacy, some will look at price, some will consider whether halal or not. Different ppl got different criteria. No one size fits all...besides read somewhere sinopharm is safest vaccine available as it is inactivated....
talking about price the cheapest is oxford vaccine. 2 - 3 euro only Sinopharm started in china the initial time cost usd60 in china as reported in the news. you goggles online can find the news. Will it be cheap using sinopharm vaccine with 80% efficacy. Now we dont know what is the selling price of sinopharm in the market. Correct?
do you know zuellig is authorised distributor for pfizer? Do you know dry ice temperature is below 70deg C. did you ever see they use dry ice packet to on top of vaccine bottles in a box being transported to hospital or clinic. Correct?
Pfizers vaccine was timed and rushed now because its winter. And yet they have problems. This was called the logistical test of the century since ww2 months back.
Freezers are monitored by a special device that takes temperature readings every 10 minutes. The time frame of how long the vaccines can last outside the freezer varies depending on different factors. If untouched in a freezer, Pfizer vaccine is good for up to six months. Once taken out of the freezer, it can be stored in a refrigerator up to five days. Once it’s placed into room temperatures, it’s effective for only two hours. But, if the vaccine is reconstituted into syringes, it can last for six hours. Because of this, Sanford made a plan to get the vaccine into people’s arms as fast and efficiently as possible.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
