Netizens Called Out A Vaccination Staff On Twitter Over Inappropriate Behaviour

On Tuesday (13th July), Twitter user Idris (@Idwishh) took to his social media to express his disappointment over the irresponsible and inappropriate behaviour of a staff member of the vaccination center at World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL).

He reported that the staff member named ‘Nazren’ had taken his sister’s phone number without her consent and had been bugging her on WhatsApp. The incident happened during his sister’s appointment yesterday. In his tweet, he asked for disciplinary action to be taken by the authorities.

Idris also added, “Some more info: his WhatsApp profile picture is black. Name is “…”. Also the number doesn’t come up on TrueCaller. This is a burner number and I’m not surprised if he’s done this before.” The individual is believed to be a serial harasser as other accounts have also come forth recalling a similar incident happening to them. “When I was there for my second dose the other day, he approached me as well. But I told him I’m married,” one netizen responded.

Another user replied under Idris’s post commented that her sister was also approached by the same man, who is a member of Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM). “Same thing happened to my sister! He took advantage by escorting those who (seemed) lost, then (verifying their) second dose vaccine while he got their phone number,” she remarked.

The post garnered netizens attention as they urged for authorities to take action against this inappropriate and unprofessional behaviour from a staff member who is supposed to guide people. Many were tagging the Malaysian Special Committee on Covid-19 Vaccine Supply (JKJAVMY) and the Coordinating Minister for Covid-19 Immunisation, Khairy Jamaluddin to ensure that they are aware of the incident . Many also hope that the culprit will be punished. 

Following the incident, JKJAVMY has come forward to respond to the issue. “We are currently investigating this matter and an appropriate action will be taken accordingly,” said JKJAVMY in their reply.

The Malaysian Army has also responded to the incident and said that the matter will be dealt with accordingly. “We will take note of the matter and an internal investigation will be conducted to identify the issue. Thank you,” they wrote.
