Competent leadership
After being widely criticised over its response to the health crisis, just how did the government manage to get the vaccination roll-out right?
Health policy expert Lim Chee Han of the Third World Network research group said the single-minded leadership of Khairy, head of the national vaccination programme since February, was a key factor.
Since August, Khairy has also worn the hat of health minister, taking over from his much-lampooned predecessor Adham Baba, who earlier in the pandemic had advised Malaysians to drink warm water to fight off the coronavirus. He is currently the minister of science, technology and innovation.
“Khairy is a prime example showing how much difference and impact a competent and effective leader can make,” Lim said, adding that “competent civil servants” in the health ministry also played a key role.
