To further encourage Malaysians to embrace the digital lifestyle, homegrown e-wallet Boost is rolling out its #KasiTambah campaign in conjunction with the ePENJANA initiative. The campaign has an extensive and attractive line-up of special perks and rewards including a chance to bring home a Perodua Myvi or a Yamaha motorcycle to supplement the RM50 ePENJANA credit given by the Government.
The RM50 e-PENJANA incentive officially kicks off today, 31 July, and is open to all Malaysians above 18 years of age with an annual income below RM100,000 based on the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia’s (LHDN) latest records and is a registered user of the MySejahtera App.
Mohd Khairil Abdullah, CEO of Boost shared that Boost is humbled to be chosen as one of the trusted and official e-wallets for the ePENJANA initiative. The homegrown e-wallet is also looking forward to playing a significant role in the collective effort to rebuild Malaysia’s economy and local businesses as well as to reboot the livelihoods of Malaysians to be more resilient in this new normal.
“Over the past four months, Malaysians have embraced the digital lifestyle where the use of e-wallets have taken root in their daily payment habits. We believe that the RM50 ePENJANA incentive will further encourage stickiness with e-wallet use amongst Malaysians and serve as an added measure to safeguard the health of Malaysians with contactless payments as COVID-19 remains a threat. More importantly, it will help stimulate the local economy. As businesses re-open, the ePENJANA stimulus initiative will be crucial in jumpstarting the economy for many businesses, especially the micro enterprises and SMEs (MSMEs), who were impacted by the enforced closures that was a crucial step in our fight towards flattening the curve.”
