Some are happy they can finally reopen for business while others whined that they have to continue to wait until their state achieves at least 50% vaccination rate among the total adult population. “It has been almost three months and I can finally reopen my gallery,” said furniture retailer Stephen Wang, whose outlet is in Serdang. The Phase 2 states include Penang, Perak, Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang and Sabah, while the Phase 3 states are Perlis, Sarawak and Labuan. M. Kumaran, 45, who runs a car wash place in Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, was also happy to reopen his business. “We are both living in Phase 1 states but he still cannot reopen because Melaka’s vaccination rate is still below 50%,” he added.
