KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia’s transition from the pandemic to the endemic phase of Covod-19 needs to be implemented carefully, said Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah.
The King said Malaysia was ranked 13th out of 122 countries in the Nikkei Asia's Covid-19 recovery index and the National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme with 98 percent of the adult population vaccinated.
As a defensive measure against the threats of new variants, the King also urged all Malaysians to get the booster dose of Covid-19 vaccine.
"To maintain immunity at the optimal level and as a defensive measure against the threats of new variants, I call on my people to get the booster dose under the ongoing (immunisation) programme implemented by the government.
"Even though we are more and more prepared to enter the endemic phase, I hope that the transition will be implemented carefully,” he said in the royal address when gracing the opening of the First Meeting of the Fifth Session of the 14th Parliament here today. - Bernama
