Chow calls on ‘private company’ to clear the air over offer

GEORGE TOWN: The Penang government has called on the “private company” to come forward and clear its name after its alleged Sinovac vaccine sponsorship to Penang was labelled as fake.

Describing the allegation as serious, Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow (pic) said the company and its director, who was named by National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme coordinating minister Khairy Jamaluddin earlier, should come forward to refute the allegation. Khairy had claimed that the company’s offer to sponsor two million doses of the Sinovac vaccine to the Penang government was bogus.
