JOHOR BARU – Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim will grant an audience on Friday to a group of teachers in the state who have rejected the Covid-19 vaccination.
Tunku Ismail, through a tweet, said the meeting would be held at Bangunan Sultan Ibrahim, Bukit Timbalan, here.
“I will meet with the Johor education director and teachers at Bangunan Sultan Ibrahim, Bukit Timbalan, together with the Johor mufti and state secretary this Friday.
“For the people’s health, safety and well-being are always protected. Inshaallah,” he said.
Earlier, Johor’s Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar said teachers should set an example, and not endanger them by rejecting the Covid-19 vaccines.
Yesterday, Tunku Ismail summoned the Johor education director and 779 teachers who rejected the Covid-19 vaccination to have an audience with him as soon as possible.
This came following state Education, Information, Heritage and Culture Committee chairman Mazlan Bujang telling the Johor assembly that a group of teachers had refused to be inoculated.
As of August 19, a total of 45,448 or 96.26% of teachers in Johor had received their first dose of the Covid-19 jab and 23,746 have been fully vaccinated. – Bernama, August 23, 2021
