cheaper but are they accurate? heard sone of them not accurate at all, test result is always negative to make you happy.

Your point remind me of what Taiwan task force minister commented why their PCR test is so expensive when he is questioned by the reporters..

He said exactly the same thing, because our PCR test are more accurate (than China), that why we cost more than them.. 

Like all consumable, there are poor/average/good quality product. Since ART test kit is something that can determine live and death, then it is govt responsibility to make sure that those selling in the market are of quality that govt can accept. Like what you rightly point out, if the test kit only give negative result (ie you positive or not, will just return negative), then it is bring massive risk to the country who allowed such test kits to be sold.

Maybe the RM6.9 is not as accurate, but is it in the range of what the govt accept? If yes, then that should be the similar pricing which we should be expecting in our market as well.
