He said Kelantan had the lowest number of registrations with only 11.8% of the state’s population recorded through the MySejahtera smartphone app. “Terengganu and Pahang only recorded 16.3% and 17.1% of the states’ population respectively,” he said.
“Hence, I am a little worried because the registration (of the vaccine) is relatively low on the east coast compared with other regions such as Putrajaya, which recorded a total registration of 70%,” he said after attending a university function here.
