Malaysia logistics firms may have to pass on cost of Covid-19 tests to Singapore customers

Kuala Lumpur

WITH Malaysian logistics companies now having to pay for their own Covid-19 tests before entering Singapore at land checkpoints, some are mulling whether to pass on the additional cost to their Singapore customers.

Starting this Thursday (Mar 24), Singapore will no longer offer on-arrival tests at the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints for cargo drivers entering from Malaysia. Prior to this, the cost of the tests was borne by the Singapore government.
