KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 19): GHL Systems Bhd said it is offering e-vouchers for screening tests, insurance plans and sanitisation packages to combat the rising number of Covid-19 cases. 

In a statement today, the group said it will offer a special discount priced RM220 e-voucher for Covid-19 screening tests, or RT PCR Gold-Standard test, through its tie-up with BP Healthcare Group’s unit Ali Health Sdn Bhd. 

“These Covid-19 screening test e-vouchers can be purchased from selected e-pay merchants through our 44,000 extensive e-pay network throughout Malaysia,” said GHL, adding that these screening test e-vouchers can then be redeemed at any BP Healthcare outlets nationwide. 

At present, public hospitals only allow Covid-19 screening tests if one meets the criteria outlined by the Ministry of Health such as showing symptoms of acute respiratory infection and having travelled abroad in the last 14 days or having had a close contact with a positive case. 

GHL also announced that it will, together with Shieldcard Holdings, offer AXXESS Covid-19 Protect insurance for as low as RM28.50, with a coverage of three months.  

“This insurance protection plan provides compensation in the event of hospitalisation (RM2,000) and death (RM10,000) due to Covid-19,” said GHL. 

On top of Covid related incidents, policy holders are also compensated RM10,000 for death caused solely by accidental means, said GHL. The insurance is under-written by AIA General Bhd. 

GHL said all Malaysians from the age of one month to 65 years are eligible to be covered by the insurance plan and with no restrictions to anyone who faces increased risk. No health declaration or medical reports are required to obtain this coverage. 

Also, through its partnership with Entopest, GHL said it will be offering halal-certified competitive packages to sanitize large scale space and surface sanitization for businesses ranging from micro SMEs to multinational corporations and governmental agencies, starting from RM290 for spaces less than 2000 sq ft. 

Back in February, GHL, in collaboration with Aspirasi, had launched a lending product aimed at micro SMEs in helping them bridge financing needs due to Covid-19 challenges. 

“We are really living in unprecedented times and as a responsible corporate citizen, it’s important to make these products and services easily available to the public and businesses,” said GHL group chief executive officer Danny Leong. 

“As a fintech company supported by a large physical merchant payment points, GHL has the technology and network to enable quick access to these new services to the public, whether via online purchases or walk in,” Leong added. 

Shares of GHL closed five sen or 2.21% lower at RM2.21 today, valuing the group at RM1.68 billion. Year to date, the counter has risen by 63.7%.
