KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 4 — Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said the decision to set a ceiling price for the Covid-19 self-test kits was not done in a hurry.
“I would really appreciate it if Malaysian Pharmacists Society could be more rational and realistic with the current situation where the self-testing equipment is a sensitive item in terms of price and supply to the people. Self-testing tools need to be controlled in the interest of the well-being of the people and the country during the pandemic,” he said.
He said that in the absence of a grace period, the ministry must allow pharmacies to return stock that was purchased at higher prices or get suppliers to subsidise the cost.
Am sure it wasn’t- gone to great detail as everyone in UMNO NEEDS A CUT/ PROFIT. !
I think it is good to manage a ceiling price. If you don't subsidized those distributors, Malaysia may get the quality we pay for. After all someone has to pay for the salary, shipping and logistic cost.
