Sultan shocked by 'unfairly' low vaccine supply for Selangor
- 3 years ago
Selangor ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has expressed shock at the low and “unfair” number of Covid-19 vaccines supplied to the state.
The statement said his majesty was shocked when the Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force confirmed that Selangor only received 615,210 Covid-19 vaccine doses as of Jun 1st, 2021, and not 2.9 million doses as previously claimed.
The sultan further stressed that this is not fair as the ratio of the vaccine doses given does not match the total population in Selangor which is 6.5 million.
He added that the state should also be given priority because it is the biggest contributor to Malaysia’s GDP.
