KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian opposition will not “complicate” the vote of confidence for Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob if the government introduces “pro-people” programmes in its COVID-19 pandemic management, said Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Anwar Ibrahim.

He said this to the press after meeting Mr Ismail Sabri at Putrajaya together with two other PH leaders, Democratic Action Party secretary-general Lim Guan Eng on Wednesday .last Saturday, has to prove his legitimacy in the parliament, as decreed by King Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah last week during the political turmoil.

“We agreed to soothe and bring down the political temperature,” he said, adding that people’s issues were stressed as priorities to the prime minister. Mr Ismail Sabri took over the top post from Mr Muhyiddin, who resigned last Monday. Malaysian MPs were then asked to submit statutory declarations naming their preferred prime minister candidate to the king., giving him the majority in the Lower House which currently has 220 MPs and two vacant seats.

In a statement issued earlier on Wednesday, the PH presidential council said the coalition would consider Mr Ismail Sabri’s invitation for the opposition politicians to join the two bodies. PH does not wish to become mere rubber stamps for the government’s views, it added. The meeting, which lasted more than an hour, focused on finding a common ground in the management of the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to lift people out of economic hardships.

Researchers seek powerful antibody against many variants; breakthrough cases may be less infectiousTwo separate research teams last week reported on laboratory tests of monoclonal antibodies that appear to protect against a broad range of COVID-19 virus variants. One study, published on Wednesday in The New England Journal of Medicine bit.ly/3kgzEZU, identified 'high-level, broad-spectrum' antibodies in blood samples from survivors of the original SARS outbreak in 2003 who recently received the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. In test tube experiments, some of the SARS survivors' antibodies induced by the vaccine could neutralize not only all of the current SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern, but also five viruses that have been identified in bats and pangolins and that have the potential to cause human infection.
