You don't always get a fever with COVID-19. It's just one of many possible symptoms.

  The heat checks are usually done at the mall entrance , right under the aircon unit , I wonder whether that would effect the result ?

I thought I read that the two girls already had symptoms while in Myanmar. They must have taken Panadol then to reduce the fever.

Of course they must have.  There are only several hundred other possibilities.

Those temperature guns are completely useless - they always show significantly lower temperature than actual. She could easily have a fever and get by. And that's not even accounting for medication like ibuprofen which will lower your temperature enough to pass any check.
