Aid packages and recovery strategies prove Malaysia isn't a failed state

REPORTS that Malaysia's daily vaccination rate has surpassed that of the United States have been splashed all over social media and news reports. Our World in Data's vaccination statistics pointed out that Malaysia's inoculation rate per 100 people reached 0.96 on July 9, even exceeding the United Kingdom's highest rate of 0.89 which was recorded on March 19. It also revealed that Malaysia had been consistently at the second position above the UK since June 20.

Of course, Malaysia isn't out of the woods yet when it comes to Covid-19 pandemic and the political situation is a bit off. We have to admit that but for Datuk Kadir Jasin to condemn his own country by saying that it is fast becoming a failed state is grossly disreputable and ignominious.
