The coronavirus has sure made a lot of people worried about their safety. When we start to hear news about people fainting and being quarantined, news tends to spread virally and thanks to the Internet, it's hard to pinpoint which one is real or fake news. It even got us wearing face masks in airports where there is no official suspected case yet.

That said, your friends and family (especially relatives) would often forward chain messages about the latest coronavirus cases in Malaysia. If you're annoyed about that (which we are too), we managed to get a heads-up about which one is #fakenews thanks to official Ministry of Health, Malaysia on its Twitter post.

Grab has officially announced that they will be supporting the Malaysian Government in encouraging cashless payments adoption, by rewarding customers up to three times more GrabRewards Points to those who pay via GrabPay.

Out of the three companies that are included in the e-Tunai Rakyat initiative, Touch 'n Go probably had the most people redeeming their RM30 through it yesterday, if the servers going down were any indication. To cash in on the hype and perhaps make up for yesterday, Touch 'n Go has announced new promotions for its e-wallet service.

It seems that Spotify recently launched a new playlist generator which generates a personalized playlist for your pet cat, dog, hamster, bird or Iguana. All you need to do is to head over to their official website, and then match the behaviour of your pet to the options showcased on the website.

E-Wallets offered by Touch ‘n Go, Grab, as well as Boost started giving out the RM30 E-Tunai Rakyat from today onwards until 14 March 2020. Malaysians who earn below RM100000 a year and are above 18 years old, will be able to claim the RM30 from one of the platforms mentioned.
