Hamzah: No herd immunity, no in-person Parliament

Home Minister Hamzah Zainuddin said today that Parliament will only sit after the country achieves herd immunity against the Covid-19 virus.He said calls for the government to reconvene the Dewan Rakyat before the immunisation objective would only "spark more infection clusters"."What is important for us now is that everybody gets vaccinated. If everybody has got their vaccines and we have herd immunity, then what will happen next is we can reopen Parliament, we can hold gatherings."However, when we are yet to reach there, why make such calls (to have Parliament sittings) that can spark more clusters, which can be damaging and create ill feelings?" Hamzah told reporters during a visit to a shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur earlier today.
