KUALA TERENGGANU (Bernama): The Terengganu Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF) has allowed 14 vaccination centres (PPV) in the state to provide walk-in vaccination from Sunday (Sept 5).
The Terengganu Health Department, in a statement on Facebook, said that the move was aimed at increasing the number of vaccine recipients in the state to 80% and achieve herd immunity.
“This walk-in vaccination is open to Terengganu residents aged 18 and above who have not registered through MySejahtera and have not received a vaccination date.
“Those who have missed their appointments are also encouraged to go to the nearest PPV for their vaccinations,” said the statement.
These individuals can get their vaccinations at the PPVs in Taman Tamadun Islam and Terengganu Trade Centre in Kuala Terengganu; Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA) (Kuala Nerus); Sungai Tarom Multi-Purpose Hall (Setiu); and Gong Kemuntong Hall and Dataran Kota Putra (Besut).
Other PPVs involved are Datuk Seri Amar Diraja Hall and Kertih Civic Hall (Kemaman); Dewan Aspirasi Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) and Dewan Dagang Politeknik Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin (PSMZA) (Dungun); Marang District Council Hall (MDM) and Bukit Payung Civic Hall (Marang); and district council halls in Kuala Berang and Ajil (Hulu Terengganu).
All the PPVs operate from 9am until 4pm subject to the slots provided, it added.

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 22 — Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin today also called the new government under newly-appointed Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob as a Perikatan Nasional (PN) administration.
Muhyiddin today confirmed on Facebook that he had chaired Perikatan Nasional’s supreme council meeting this morning, which he said was done with permission from the National Security Council.
Muhyiddin, who was prime minister until his resignation on August 16, said PN will give back the “Perikatan Nasional Government” in its policies and plans.
“The Perikatan Nasional party that is backed by 50 Members of Parliament together with 3 independent Members of Parliament will also continue to be together, united and committed to support the Perikatan Nasional Government’s policies and plans in making the national recovery plan a success, prioritising the citizens’ welfare and ensuring the country’s sustainability,” he said, referring to 53 of the 114 MPs who had backed Ismail Sabri as prime minister.
“The meeting also had an in-depth discussion on the country’s current political scenario and heard and took note of all views from component parties to strengthen political cooperation and make preparations to face the 15th general election,” the Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia president added.
Muhyiddin said the meeting this morning was attended by all Perikatan Nasional supreme council members including the presidents of component parties, namely PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, STAR president Datuk Seri Jeffrey Kitingan, SAPP president Datuk Seri Yong Teck Lee and Gerakan president Datuk Dominic Lau.
Muhyiddin confirmed the others who attended the meeting as including Bersatu deputy president Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu, Bersatu secretary-general Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin, Bersatu supreme council member Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali, Terengganu Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, PAS secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan and representatives from component parties.
Separately, a news report by Free Malaysia Today also quoted Bersatu deputy president Faizal earlier as asserting that the new government under Ismail Sabri is a PN government, as PN has 50 MPs while Barisan Nasional which also backs Ismail Sabri has 41 MPs.
This comes after two Umno leaders, namely Umno secretary-general and Pontian MP Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan and Umno Supreme Council member Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Dahlan, opposed the usage of “PN Government”, as BN is not part of the PN coalition.
Kuala Terengganu probably isn’t going to be a must-see place for many people on their journeys around Malaysia, it’s a fairly small city where not a lot happens, but it does make for an interesting overnight stop if you’re headed to or from the islands en route to Kuala Lumpur, or Penang.
It’s a nice enough place to spend a day, or a few if you have the time and a great place to stop and stock up on essentials or get supplies before heading out to the islands, which are always expensive for toiletries and snacks.
The town is relatively small and walkable with a large Chinatown area and a couple of notable things to see. There is a much larger, conservative Muslim population here – don’t offend the locals by keeping your torso and shoulders covered, women should be respectful by keeping as much of their legs covered as possible and definitely don’t wear tiny beach shorts.
Things to do in Kuala Terengganu
Malays consider turtle eggs a delicacy, but this informational art trail known as Turtle Alley, in Chinatown tells the story of the ‘Little Turtle Messenger’ who goes on a ride with the turtles and convinces everyone to stop eating their endangered eggs. Don’t forget to check out the other arty themed lanes in Chinatown, too
The Floating Mosque or Masjid Terapung is a pretty, white mosque built on a lake ten kilometres outside of town.
Crystal Mosque or Masjid Kristal is part of the Taman Tamadun Islam, an Islamic theme park. A collection of miniaturised Muslim sights from all over the world. Twenty Ringgit entrance charge to the park, the mosque is free to view. It’s a few kilometres outside of town, with very limited local buses so you will need private transport.
There are night markets all along the waterfront, selling everything from fresh fruit (take some onto the islands with you) to cheap clothing.
The bus station also has hole in the wall style vendors selling cheap food including basic nasi lemak for around 1RM. If street eating isn’t for you there are lots of restaurants around including Old Town White Coffee & western fast-food chains.
Eat the local speciality, keropok lekor – a type of steamed fish sausage, served with chilli sauce.
Visit the relatively large area of Chinatown, with a lot of traditional shophouses. There are plenty of opportunities to get good Chinese food and there is a cheap hawker market with Chinese on one side and Malay options on the other.
During Ramadan, Chinatown is the only option besides fast food chains as everything else is shut down during daylight hours.

Getting there:
The bus stop has local and national services. You can generally buy local tickets on the bus and long-distance via the ticket booths behind the taxi rank.
Taxi drivers will pester you, and some tried to mislead us about the buses not leaving for several hours, or not running at all. Others were more truthful and helpful – overall, people around were nice, welcoming and helpful – Always ask at least two people the same question.
The airport is about a twenty-minute drive away, the only transport option is to take a taxi.
Where to go next?
How to get to Pulau Kapas:
The ferry leaves from Marang, not to be confused with Merang, which is also close to Kuala Terengganu! From the main bus terminal take the bus headed to Dungun, run by S.P Bumi,(they have a ticket booth at the end of the row, furthest away from the bus stop and next to Plusliner – ask for a schedule.)
At Marang, walk around five minutes to the ferry terminal where there are a few operators who all run the same service at slightly different times. Ask the guesthouse to phone a few hours in advance when you want to return.
- Bus: 20/30 minutes: 2.50RM. Make sure you ask the driver to stop at Marang.
- Ferry: around 15minutes, 40MYR return.
How to get to Pulau Perhentian:
The ferry leaves from Kuala Besut. From the main bus terminal, you can take a local bus, run by S.P Bumi. The bus will stop next to the terminal, where you will no doubt be assisted by lots of very helpful people!
The ferry runs directly to the Islands, and you can specify which beach you want to be dropped at. Lots of companies are competing here. Make sure the captain knows which beach you want dropping off at.
- Bus: 2hours, 10RM.
- Speedboat: 25 minutes, 70RM return.
How to get to Pulau Redang:
Ferries leave from Merang (different from Marang) S.P Bumi, the local bus service also runs this route from Kuala Terengganu bus terminal throughout the day.
For some of the year ferries also leave from the jetty in Kuala Terengganu for around 100RM per person.
- Bus: 30 minutes, 2-3RM – Ask the driver to stop at Marang.
- Ferry: 40minutes, 80RM return.
In theory, it’s also possible to travel directly between The Perhentians and Pulau Redang – Dive boats and fishing trips run the route and you may be able to buy passage directly, saving the extra time and costs. You will need several days’ notice and some luck for this to happen.
