Retailer lowers price of Covid-19 self-test kits via e-commerce app

HOME-GROWN retail and wholesale chain Mydin is collaborating with ShopeePay to offer Covid-19 self-test kits at the price of RM3.80 each nationwide.

Originally priced at RM6.90 per pack, Mydin managing director Datuk Ameer Ali Mydin said the Newgene Covid-19 test kits were being offered at a lower price so more Malaysians could buy them, especially with the discovery of the Omicron variant.

“As a retailer, we should make the self-test kits even more affordable and accessible for everyone’s benefit, so we do not have to undergo another lockdown,” he said.

The self-test kits are available at RM3.80 each only with the purchase of a 1sen ShopeePay voucher via the Shopee app.

The voucher code must be included at check-out to qualify for the lower price.

On the special offer, ShopeePay Malaysia head Alain Yee said: “As Malaysia continues to remain open for business, the people have to continue looking for ways to source test kits at low prices to ensure economic revival.

“Lowering the prices of test kits in partnership with Mydin is one way for us to contribute to keeping the economy open and Malaysians safe.”

The offer, which is applicable only at 59 Mydin outlets listed on the voucher, is valid until Dec 31 or while stocks last.
