KUALA LUMPUR – The authorities are free to take action against those exposed in the leaked Pandora Papers if there are criminal elements involved, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
During a press conference in Sentul’s PPR Seri Perak, he said he is confident that enforcement authorities are aware of the news concerning Pandora Papers, and he leaves it to them to take action if required.
“If there’s a case against anyone in our country, the authorities can take action. The authorities are aware of the news that’s being published, so we leave it to them.
“If there’s proof of a crime, they will do what’s necessary.”
Meanwhile, the government, he said, has no plans to make Covid-19 vaccination mandatory.
However, he reiterated there are mandates in place for civil servants and those serving in the armed forces to be fully vaccinated.
“So in a way, the vaccines can be said to be mandatory for certain people.”
He went on to encourage those who have yet to receive their jab to do so.
“How long do you want to wait? We have waited so long to return to our hometowns.
“Even for umrah, the Saudi government requires pilgrims to be fully vaccinated.”
On the anti-vaxxer community, he said it is a very small group of people.
Ismail Sabri added that the government is concerned in serving the interests of the majority and not a small number of people, in this case.
He suggested that action will not be taken against individuals who happen to be anti-vaxxers unless they spread fake news. – The Vibes, October 16, 2021
