Selamat Hari Raya to all! A time for feasting, reconnecting and forgiveness.

But to be honest, there was a point last week when I wasn’t in a very forgiving mood. It was to do with vaccine registration. As somebody who assiduously avoids the 3Cs and tries to practise the 3Ws, I was of course keen to get vaccinated. In my mind, it’s all about reducing the risk of infection even further.
