May as well send them somewhere they will be used .....

But now they will have to buy another 10,000 kits to test these thai kit if the work properly or not being Thai made...

Comes over to me as an insult to Singhapore ...

And as of today Thailand was #166 on the list of tests per million, one of the worst in the world and there giving them away. 

 

Made In Thailand, no thanks.

Part of the Govts plan to cut the cost of waste management, send the rubbish abroad.

 

Call me sceptical but what does he want in return? 

Pretty sure Singapore don’t need anything from the Thai government really . Thai government after a loan ? ????

Probably want us to let our folks go over for holidays. No way. We're too busy milking our own citizens right now and we ain't trusting your numbers.
