Just a few days ago, a vaccination centre staff in Johor cited Khairy Jamaluddin's resignation from the government to stop a man from recording his Covid-19 vaccination - a policy Khairy had introduced.
The incident went viral after the man posted the video on Twitter.
Fast forward to today, Khairy is now the health minister - with expectations that he will still be in charge of Covid-19 vaccinations.
He also responded to the video.
"Assalamualaikum," he tweeted.
The one-word reply was met with glee by netizens, many of whom joked that the staff who prevented the recording must now be worried about her job.
In the incident, the female staff - who was off-camera - was overheard telling the man that he could not record his vaccination.
"You cannot record. KJ has already resigned. Health Ministry's procedures say that you are not allowed to record video," the officer was heard saying, referring to Khairy's moniker.
A hand believed to be hers was then seen blocking the man's handphone camera before the video was cut off.
Taking his complaint to Twitter, the vaccine recipient said the officer was rude when ordering him to stop his video recording.
According to him, the officer was also the only one who seemed to be bothered by the recording, as a nurse who was administering the vaccine had no problem with it.
Last month, Khairy ordered all vaccination centres to reverse their 'no photo, no video' rule following scores of claims that vaccine recipients were given blank shots. - Mkini
