By now you would have already known that Malaysians can enjoy a one-off RM30 digital incentive given by the government starting from 15th January 2020. Wooo, free money! This was announced in Budget 2020 and is known as the e-Tunai Rakyat initiative. This is supposed to encourage Malaysians to go cashless and embrace the usage of e-wallets.
