PETALING JAYA: Malaysia will be able to move to the second phase of the National Recovery Plan (NRP) by early August if the country continues to see positive progress in its vaccination rate, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

This is one of the three thresholds required for progress to Phase Two of the NRP.
