As Malaysia's vaccination program rolls steadily onwards, volunteers are on the frontlines helping to register people for vaccination, and also assist the administration process at the vaccination centers. But what needs to be done to help volunteers in their selfless duty? How can the government and other organizations encourage and protect our volunteers? On the Breakfast Grille, we speak to Subang Jaya ADUN, YB Michelle Ng, and Mercy Malaysia General Manager of Operations Said Alhudzari about their experience coordinating the volunteer efforts against the pandemic.
