The new Health Minister, Khairy Jamaluddin, seems likely to fail in one of the his Hundred Day Tests on Dec. 7, 2021, i.e. keeping the cumulative total of Covid-19 cases below 2.5 million cases.

At the present rate of infection, we are likely to pass the 2.5 million-mark for cumulative total of Covid-19 cases by the end of this month.

The next question will be whether Malaysia can keep below 3 million total cumulative total of Covid-19 cases by Khairy’s First Hundred Days as the new Health Minister on Dec. 7, 2021.

When Khairy was sworn in as Heath Minister on August 30, there were a cumulative total of 1,725,357 cases. Since, then there has been an increase of 698,121 cases, bringing the cumulative total of Covid-19 cases to 2,323,478 cases.

Will there be any new policy or approach to win the war against the Covid-19 pandemic?
