The first 100 fans to donate blood at the Hemorio on matchday will get the tickets.

The MOH will, from time to time, improve the provision of incentives to blood donors, said its Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

Malaysia is in need of more blood donors as elective medical procedures resume at healthcare facilities nationwide and the number of traffic accidents increase now that there are more vehicles on the road under the conditional movement control order (CMCO).

Meanwhile, PKR president Anwar Ibrahim explained his absence during a press conference attended by former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad as well as Pakatan Harapan and Warisan leaders.

"The answer is simple - It wasn't a Harapan press conference," he told a live session on Facebook today.

This number is alarming because every 43 seconds, one bag of blood is needed to save a patient's life.

The Health Ministry (MOH) is looking into a proposal that those who have donated blood more than 50 times be given priority in the second phase of the National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme.

The number of donors aged 18 - 30 in relation to the youth population in Malaysia is very low every year.

Blood donors need not worry because blood banks always follow SOPs to contain COVID-19.

Blood donors are also national heroes because they voluntarily donate blood to meet the needs of others and save lives.

The decision was made after it was found that the supply of the National Blood Centre had decreased since the MCO came into force last month.

The number of blood donors has dropped by almost 40 percent in the month of Ramadan, causing the National Blood Centre (PDN) to experience a shortage of blood supply.

The National Blood Centre (NBC) and blood banks throughout the country are still facing shortage of blood donors ahead of the coming Thaipusam and Chinese New Year celebrations.
