KUALA LUMPUR: LKL International Bhd’s subsidiary, LKL Advance Metaltech Sdn Bhd
(LAMSB) has partnered with iWOW Technology Pte Ltd (ITPL) for potential collaboration

proven technology to track and contain the Covid-19 virus with the introduction of trace
token locally.

“This device also serves as a viable alternative to mobile applications, and can be
marketed to a wide range of users including public healthcare, commercial entities, as well
as private users,” he said in a statement today.
He said the collaboration strengthens the company’s product portfolio as a leading
manufacturer and distributor of diverse medical and healthcare solutions in Malaysia.
