OPN 210321 edit — GOOD NEWS, VACCINE FOR ALL: The Ministry of Health and Prevention has now started booking appointments for COVID-19 vaccination for all including citizens and residents aged 16 and above. This is indeed good news for all of us. We all should take pride that we are living in UAE, which gives top priority to the health and wellbeing of its people. The vaccination jabs can now be taken free of cost at any of the 205 vaccination locations countrywide. All residents must avail themselves of this opportunity and get vaccination to help the government achieve its target to make UAE COVID-19 pandemic free.

190206 Sandra Oh — SANDRA OH VOICES HER FEAR FOR ASIAN AMERICANS TODAY: ‘Killing Eve’ star Sandra Oh isn’t one to sit on the sidelines as America faces one its most recent spate of hate crimes against the Asian community there. The popular actress, who is of Korean descent, joined a rally in Oakland on Saturday to protest against the growing hate. “For many of us in our community, this is the first time we are even able to voice our fear and our anger, and I really am so grateful to everyone willing to listen,” Oh can be heard saying in a video that has been circulating on social media. “One thing that I know is that many in our community are very scared, and I understand that. And one way to go through our fear is to reach out to our community.” As the #StopAsianHate momentum gathers steam with widespread protests being staged across the US, celebrities such as Oh are going a long way to assure fans that there is a safe space for them to speak out. And to be heard. [COMMENT BY: Bindu Rai, Entertainment Editor] Image Credit: Supplied
