Govt denies engaging MyEG for Covid-19 screenings


This is the second time the government is denying any engagement with MyEG in matters relating to Covid-19. The first instance was in March when the government, through the Health Ministry’s Medical Device Authority (MDA), said that it had never given permission to MyEG to advertise, distribute or sell Covid-19 test kits.

PETALING JAYA: The government, via the Human Resources Ministry, has denied that it is engaging MyEG Services Bhd to carry out Covid-19 screenings for employers for the Social Security Organisation’s (Socso) Prihatin Screening Programme (PSP).

This is the second time the government is denying any engagement with MyEG in matters relating to Covid-19. The first instance was in March when the government, through the Health Ministry’s Medical Device Authority (MDA), said that it had never given permission to MyEG to advertise, distribute or sell Covid-19 test kits.

MDA had said then that the advertisements by MyEG could cause confusion by encouraging people to purchase the tests, with possible false test results.
