“Thank you to the Ministry of Defense and the Royal Malaysian Air Force for helping to complete this delivery process,” he wrote amid a two-day visit to Sabah, also thanking other partners of the mission.
He had yesterday announced that Sabah will begin receiving more resources beginning today, to support its healthcare system that was under strain from the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Rembau MP said the additional supplies were part of the federal government’s strategy to help the state cope with the high number of Covid 19 cases and catch up with the national vaccination rate.
