Health director-general (DG) Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said both of the deceased were foreigners living in Sabah.
Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the four Covid-19-related deaths brought the cumulative number of fatalities in the country so far to 354 cases.
Dr Noor Hisham said this via Twitter today following news reports yesterday that the Malaysian government, through the Ministry of Health (MoH), had signed the agreement with Pfizer to obtain 12.8 million doses of its Covid-19 vaccine to meet immunisation needs of 20% or 6.4 million Malaysians.
Paramount Group chief executive officer Jeffrey Chew yesterday said the group’s property sales for 3QFY20 was 82% higher than that of the corresponding period last year, mainly derived from project launches this year, namely Sinaran at Utropolis Batu Kawan, Cendana at Greenwoods Salak Perdana, and the group's Sejati Lakeside Phase 2.
The group attributed the improved results to more construction work done being recognised, an increase in traffic volume for its toll operations, and an increase in rental income from the EkoCheras Shopping Mall, compared with 4QFY20.
Almost all business segments registered improved profit contributions, the group noted, except for its property development and other segments.
The country has now recorded 51,642 confirmed cases since the start of the third wave of Covid-19 infections on Sept 20, from 10,219 total infections then.
