KUALA LUMPUR (May 24): My EG Services Bhd (MyEG) has inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to bring in a Covid-19 rapid breath test system to Malaysia. In a bourse filing, the group announced that it had signed an MoU with Singapore-based Breathonix Pte Ltd, which has developed a real-time breath test system for Covid-19. Users of the test are only required to simply exhale normally into a disposable one-way valve mouthpiece connected to a breath sampler. Following the MoU’s signing, MyEG will apply for the requisite regulatory approvals and certifications for the breath test to be made commercially available in Malaysia. According to Bloomberg, Singapore has approved the breath test, noting that Breathonix is a National University of Singapore (NUS) spin-off startup.
