Malaysian can get a covid test at Government Hospital or Klinik Kesihatan for as low as RM1 only (RM100 to RM200 for Non-Malaysians).
Alternatively, you can choose to test a private hospital/clinic. There are a total of 901 hospitals/clinics which have registered with MOH  to carry out covid tests for the public.

Types of Covid Test
Before you head out to the hospital, take note that there are mainly 2 types of covid tests available: PCR swab test and RTK Ag rapid test kit.
In most cases, it is recommended to get a PCR swab test because it has a better detection rate and more accurate (>95% accuracy).
It is an easy, effective and fast way to diagnose whether you have an active Covid-19 infection.
In general, the whole process can range from downright unpleasant with some gagging to totally painless. Any kind of discomfort usually disappears pretty fast. 
Test results usually take between 24 – 72 hours to be ready. 
It is best that you practice self-quarantine while your test results are pending.
RT-PCR Test

RT-PCR test is the medical term for swab test. 
A sample is typically taken from your nose and throat with a specialized swab, then placed inside a sterile container and transported to a lab for testing.
Test results usually take between 24 – 72 hours to be ready
It detects the presence of Covid-19 Nucleic Acid to determine whether a person suffers from Covid-19T
RTK Ag Test

RTK Ag, RTK Antigen test is done through nose swab test as well. For info, RTK antibody test aka RTK bloodtest is not endorsed by government. (I was also confused between these 2 types of test initially, had corrected it now)
It detects the virus that is present in the body 7-14 days after being exposed to Covid-19. 
Hence, this test does not help to detect the early stages of Covid-19 infection. 
And RTK covid test result is less accurate compared to a standard swab test, which is a big disadvantage.
The biggest benefit of using RTK is its affordable pricing. 
It is no doubt a better option for small-medium business owners who need to do covid tests for large numbers of workers. 
Covid Test Price List
Nowadays, you can take a covid test through walk-in to the hospital or get a drive-thru Covid test.
I highly recommend heading to go for drive-thru Covid test for greater convenience and safety. 
The queue is often shorter and it keeps you away from crowds and other potential Covid positive patients.
In fact, you can even get a Covid test from the comfort of your home. Do take note that home visit test usually will be slightly more expensive than drive-thru or walk-in.

Here’s a list of hospitals and clinics that provide COVID-19 tests:

Amongst all the clinic and hospitals, the most noteworthy one is Laurent Bleu Medical Clinic because they are offering an RM70 RTK Ag test for everyone.
Apparently, it is impossible for me to trace the price for each and every clinics/hospital. There are more than 900+ Covid test service providers in the whole of Malaysia.
And many of them don’t list their Covid test price on the website or Facebook Page.
The price shown above is only accurate as of the date the post was updated.
Feel free to comment belows and I will update my list for any cheap covid test, or make correction on my post if there is any mistake.
