Govt considers legal action against antivax groups

Jun 04, 2021

The government is considering taking legal action against groups who encourage others to reject the COVID-19 vaccine.

PM Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin says these groups could jeopardise the government's plans of immunising 80% of the population to achieve herd immunity against the coronavirus.

He adds that he has also directed vaccine authorities to look into the possibility of making vaccinations compulsory.

1 thousand more roadblocks could be mounted

More roadblocks could be mounted, especially in KL and Selangor, as a precaution against the spread of the coronavirus.

The Home Ministry says it's because there are still many motorists on the road despite the country currently under a total lockdown.

It says the matter is being discussed with the relevant authorities, adding that up to a thousand more roadblocks could be set up nationwide.
