Malaysia Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin announced this additional RTK tests for VTL travellers on Wednesday, 1 December 2021. This is in view of the new COVID-19 Omicron variant which has been making headlines in the past few days, but has not been detected in Malaysia so far.
Passengers entering Malaysia from Singapore by the Vaccinated Travel Lane (Air) [VTL (Air)] and Vaccinated Travel Lane (Land) [VTL (Land)] will have to take the additional self-administered Day 3 and Day 7 COVID-19 RTK tests using self-purchased Rapid Antigen Test Kits (RTK) in Malaysia.
These results will have to be reported on the MySejahtera application.
RTK test kits can be purchased in Malaysia at supermarkets or convenience stores with prices from RM4.90 (S$1.58). Watsons sell RTK test kits at RM6.90 (~S$2.23), which I have asked a friend to buy 2 for me already for my 10-day trip.
Meanwhile, Singapore is still not including the new post-arrival Day 3 and Day 7 Antigen Rapid Test (ART) for JB-Singapore VTL Bus Passengers. Travellers from Malaysia to Singapore travelling via the VTL (Land) by bus to Singapore will not need to undergo the new post-arrival Day 3 and Day 7 Antigen Test (ART).
