Yong Tai will be SZKT's partner in Malaysia to conduct Phase III clinical trials and exclusive commercialisation of the vaccine.

The CMCO for Selangor, Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur, Sabah, Labuan, Kelantan, Perak, Penang and Negeri Sembilan is currently scheduled to end on Sunday (Dec 6).

"The Prime Ministers took stock of the progress of discussions, and gained a good understanding of Malaysia’s and Singapore’s respective positions,” said a joint statement.

The central bank said this will be under the Targeted Relief and Recovery Facility (TRRF) which is aimed at assisting eligible SMEs in the services sector, whose revenues have been affected by the recent enhanced and conditional movement control orders. 

Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob: The risk assessment by the Ministry of Health (MoH) found that the positive rate in this area is still high whereby there are still new positive cases detected among employees through the second screening tests.

As for those in the middle 40% income group (M40) seeking a reduction in monthly instalments, they would have to make a self-declaration with the banks, but can do so without documents.

The four deaths were recorded in Sabah (2), Perak (1), and Kedah (1).

Sabah continues to lead with 616 cases, representing 52.7% of the total positive cases today, while the Klang Valley recorded 275 new cases.

This means the ongoing CMCO in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, and Putrajaya will be extended as well. The same goes for Labuan and Sabah.

“[Malaysia’s] labour market [is] showing signs of recovery,” the MoF said.
