Caregiver gets rude treatment at PPV

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: A woman accompanying her dependent for his vaccine appointment was left exasperated after being given a hard time at various checkpoints at a vaccination centre (PPV).

Dian Azura, 36, took to Twitter to voice her frustration after being repeatedly stopped from accompanying the dependent, her 40-year-old cousin who has a mental health condition.

She said police and Rela personnel at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur PPV had stopped her at three different checkpoints on July 4 despite showing that she was the dependent’s caregiver on the MySejahtera application.

The personnel even pushed her to explain why her cousin needed her to accompany him, thinking he did not need a chaperone because he seemed physically fine.

“According to them, anyone who looks fine physically must go by themselves. At each checkpoint, I grew more frustrated as they questioned me multiple times. But they also grew frustrated with me and, with displeasure, let me in anyway after I insisted.
