News & Reviews:   RM100

Today, Malaysia’s government has confirmed that a one-off payment of RM100 will be disbursed to all eligible Malaysians aged 18 and above under the SARA For All programme. The aid will be credited directly into recipients’ MyKad starting Monday, 9 February 2026.

In a major infrastructure upgrade, MyKasih Foundation has increased its Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (SARA) terminal capacity by 60% to accommodate a surge in nationwide transactions. The move coincides with the rollout of the RM100 one-off SARA Appreciation Aid on Day 2, aimed at supporting eligible Malaysians through digital redemption.

As expected, scams about the RM100 aid by the Malaysian government have recently surfaced. The Communications Ministry has sent out a warning over a wave of fraudulent websites and social media posts impersonating government portals to exploit the public’s interest.

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.

As a reminder, we reported about the RM100 e-Tunai redemption back in October and it's coming real soon. Our Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has confirmed the distribution date and it shall begin on 4 December 2023 and until 20 February 2024.

Today, the Malaysia Government is imposing a new rule to tackle fake news. Starting today onwards under the Emergency Ordinance (No. 2) 2021, any individual or party who publish or broadcast fake news about any related COVID-19 and State of Emergency matters will be fined up to RM100,000.

So this just came in - according to sources, Finance Minister, Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz has decided to increase the eWallet allowance of RM50 to RM100. 1.1 million Malaysian students are now eligible and Bernama also confirmed this news just a while ago on their Twitter page.

A few months ago, the Minister of Finance Dato’ Sri Tengku Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz announced that the government have approved the e-PENJANA program. This program was initiated by the government to cooperate with the private companies, each of the groups was allocated RM750 million and the program has successfully raised a total of RM1.5 billion.
