Electronic components factory first in Selangor to receive vaccines for its workers

By Mustakim Ramli

SHAH ALAM, June 15 — Electronic components manufacturing company Texas Instruments Malaysia Sdn Bhd in Ampang will be the first factory in Selangor to receive the Covid-19 vaccine for its workers.

National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme Coordinating Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said the initiative tomorrow is part of Phase 4 of the national vaccination plan.

At the same time, Khairy said it was important for the community to understand that the government has not set aside the implementation of Phase 2, and was still carrying it out despite Phase 4 already having commenced.

“This is because when the movement control order was implemented there were still certain economic sectors operating and work sites have triggered infection clusters, which is why we are also focusing on Phase 4,” he said at the Selangor State Secretariat Building here today.

Khairy said this after chairing the state’s Covid-19 Immunisation Programme Task Force meeting with Selangor Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari.

He said Phase 4 would be further expanded to the manufacturing and other construction sectors in the state in July.

“The International Trade and Industry Ministry (Miti) is also compiling a list of factories that will be involved in this programme,” he said.
