Every Malaysian can soon receive RM50 credited to their e-wallet account. What does this mean for the nation’s economy?
Updated: Aug 1, 2020
Last Friday, Malaysia’s Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced a National Economic Recovery Plan (PENJANA). This plan aims to help cultivate the Malaysian economy as Covid-19 cases decrease in Malaysia and to encourage the rakyat to spend their money locally.
During the announcement, one of the incentives given to Malaysian is RM50 credited to selected e-wallet accounts. PM Muhyiddin added that this initiative worth RM750 million would benefit about 15 million Malaysians, starting next month.
“An additional RM50 in value would also be provided through vouchers, cashbacks, and discounts by e-wallet platforms.” ~ Muhyiddin Yassin, Prime Minister of Malaysia

Overall
We hope Malaysian individuals and businesses will benefit from this incentive and to support the government’s campaign to spend locally and helping generating income for the nation. Now that Malaysia is entering the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) phase, some restrictions are lifted. Use this opportunity to spend on local businesses while following social distancing rules.
- This will encourage more Malaysians to shop offline and will help generate income for businesses that depends on the sales of products.
- Implementing a contactless transaction for safer interaction between customers and sellers.
- More people downloading the MySejahtera App. Bernama reported that the Ministry of Health (MOH) recorded a total of 700,000 registrations on the MySejahtera application following the government’s initial announcement.

Hi. Ive received my RM 50 and I noticed that there is a voucher of RM 5, can be use as phone topup. When I tried to use it, my eWallet amount was deducted, not the voucher. The app said that I have to spend RM 50 in one shot and the RM 5 voucher will only be deducted on the next mobile topup. Is this correct?
I have apply the RM50 using my Boost e-wallet in early September.
Up till now, I did not get the money.
When I contact Boost, they inform me that I have received the money and have spent it.
I have checked through the transaction history and they were no such entries.
I request them to let me know the date I received the RM50 and what are the items I have purchased with the money.
I can’t get the answers from Boost.
I think Boost have received the money from the Government but did not credit it into my account.
How to check from the Government whether the money RM50 has been given to Boost but not credited into my account.
Can you please advice me how to recover the money from Boost.
Thank you.
