The Director-General of Health Malaysia



           It has been more than a year since the
           COVID-19 pandemic swept through
           our country. Undoubtedly, we have
           gained profusely invaluable
           experience to manage the pandemic
           through the agony of trial by fire.  As
           we keep up with the fast-paced

           evolving knowledge on this invisible
           enemy and the ways to cope with it,
           the more we know, the less we fear.


           A successful vaccination programme
           provides a means for us to learn to

           live with the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
           However, we are not out of the woods
           yet and, we must not let our guards
           down. We must prevent another round
           of exponential surge of cases.


           Nonetheless, my earnest appreciation
           goes to all volunteers; willing hands
           who have so freely come forth to help

           us in such diverse ways, boosting
           morale, generously lending a helping       Lindung diri, lindung semua.
           hand, donating much-needed
           equipment and facilities, and so much        Protect yourself, protect
           more. Your contributions have made                   everyone.

           an indelible positive impact on both
           the frontliners and the nation's         - Tan Sri Dato' Seri Dr. Noor Hisham bin Abdullah
