Operators unhappy travellers being made to cough up for costly test


JOHOR BARU: Most international travellers flying into the country have to take their rapid test (RTK-Antigen) at the airport upon arrival and there is no reason why it should be overpriced, says the Malaysia Tour Guides Association.

Its president Jimmy Leong said the price for an RTK test at international airports in the country was too high, both for foreign travellers and Malaysians returning from overseas but they were left with no choice but to cough up the money and take the mandatory test.
