Last week, our Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, announced a RM100 aid for Malaysians over 18 years old through the MyKad from 31 August 2025. However, this method is not something familiar as cash aid was often distributed through eWallet platforms.

Back in April, Apple launched its Self-Service Repair program and now Samsung is doing the same.

In the last week, corporations in Malaysia have been looking for ways to help the flood victims recover. Aid from these companies have been appearing mostly in the form of discounts, and this trend is continuing with Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) and Perodua.

The flood last week has affected many Malaysians. Some lost their homes while others who were more fortunate may have lost only their belongings or found them damaged. But replacing or repairing items like electronics isn't easy, so local companies have been offering flood relief programs.

Apparently, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Week Ka Siong just recently signed a feral gazette on revoking special permission to foreign vessels. While it may seem like a patriotic move, this will make repairing the submarine internet cables far longer than ever. Now several large tech companies including Facebook, Google and Microsoft will consult with Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on this matter.
