'As more protocols are being relaxed and more people vaccinated, hope arises to get the economy moving again.' - Brian Martin

The above was my to-do list for this week. I’m sure it was the same for many living in the Klang Valley, too. The majority of us have been deprived of these three things, and a lot more, for close to three months.

I do realise that our Covid-19 numbers are still very high and I know that there are people out there who have chosen not to take advantage of the more relaxed rulings. That is entirely their prerogative. In fact, I witnessed my barber turning away a customer who had only been vaccinated once. Even my condominium unit has made it compulsory for visitors to show proof of both doses on their MySejahtera.

Our vaccination programme isn’t an all-encompassing security blanket. The science has shown us you still carry the risk of catching the virus and infecting other people even if you have been jabbed twice, but being inoculated will almost certainly mean that you will not end up in hospital.These regulations will make the fence sitters and anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorists think twice before rejecting vaccines.

These digital certificates look like the real thing and allow unvaccinated individuals to access business premises unhindered. The authorities need to put a stop to this because widespread use of these fake certs will almost certainly jeopardise the national immunisation plan. It will mean that our sacrifice of staying in lockdown for so long as well as the sacrifices of our frontliners would all have been in vain.

We can’t take our eye off the ball yet, but a transition into Phase Two for the Klang Valley in the near future is vital to saving jobs and the economy. If and when this transition happens, it will be a welcome boost to the millions living in the Klang Valley just as we are about to celebrate our National Day in about 10 days’ time.
