Vaccines are the way out – the PM said
Mr Ismail Sabri noted that vaccines have been shown to have a positive impact on combating the pandemic.
“This success will pave the way for economic recovery in this country and allow us to live in the new normal. The economy should be restored, the well-being of the people should be improved, investor confidence should return, therefore, I would like to call on the Malaysian family to get vaccinated immediately to help in the country’s efforts to recover.”
The leader noted that ‘based on data and facts, vaccinations would “combat the war against the COVID-19 pandemic and it will end in victory,”
In his speech, the prime minister also reflected on Malaysia’s journey to achieve independence over the last four centuries and called on people to use these lessons to overcome challenges in the present day as a united “Malaysian family”.

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.
