Forced to spend two extra days in quarantine


I FEEL for letter-writer AJ whose story I could relate to, “Plea for help to update vaccination status” (The Star, Feb 10; online at bit.ly/star_update). I am in a slightly different predicament but the worry and concerns are the same.

I received by first two doses in Malaysia and got my booster overseas. I returned to Malaysia in December last year and have since been calling up and visiting various agencies to get my booster information uploaded in the MySejahtera app.
