“My appointment changed suddenly from the 26 of May to the 15 of June,” Claimed the woman.
She also claimed that she has made numerous calls and has waited for five working days before finally getting the appointment.
“She (her mother) is a cancer patient, for goodness sake! Her immune system is low enough!” The woman said.
On the other hand
Despite being unable to verify the exact word spoken by Khairy, it can be seen in the video that he reacted to the woman very calmly throughout the whole conversation.
Here is another perspective:
I am compelled to share what happened in one of the PPVs today. This lady was complaining, in front of @Khairykj who happened to visit the area, about having to wait for so long for her parents to get vaccinated.
