Buy only approved, certified self-test kits

I READ with interest the recent announcement by Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi on the proposed move to make Covid-19 self-test kits available at supermarkets, convenience stores, and petrol stations.

At first impression, this might seem to be a practical move, as it would make it more convenient for consumers to get the self-test kits. While I understand that low prices and easy access will benefit consumers, we nevertheless cannot simply opt for convenience at the expense of safety or quality.
