After going through an economic downpour due to the pandemic, our government is doing everything they can to bring the businesses back to life. Earlier, the e-PENJANA program that has raised a total of RM1.5 billion among private companies was introduced to distribute free RM50 (e-wallet credit) + RM50 (discount voucher and cashback) to every Malaysian e-wallet user. Now, the plan is finally going to kickstart starting from 31 July onwards.

All of you must have known that our government is distributing e-wallet credit again as the MySejahtera app has crashed earlier due to a large number of sign-ups (haha~). It looks like things just got better as the finance minister has announced that they are increasing the total value of RM50 as previously announced to RM100!
