cukur rm 30

why gomen so happy to give out money when already keep on complaining left and right no money?

10mil is chump change in the grand scheme of things.

They wanna encourage people to use e wallet... A lot of benefit for gov. That why they force you spend it before march

when BN give brim is rasuah.. this one consider what? sedekah?

More people using e-wallet means that Bank Negara don't need to print out so many new notes. Save money in the long run.

just need to put 1malaysia at bottom only

Make a meme from this

For what it's worth, I'm ok with this.

Damn that nobita annoyinng face pic damn epic. Meme worthy....

Everytime he makes and announce something stupid can use that pic as meme.

Someone do know the reason.

And now we can create ringgit completely out of thin air! Its a test run buggers.. B40 gonna enjoi as if so great then when inflasi arrives, they first to burn hahaha

I didn't get. Farking scam.

cukurrrr... economy improved drastically already in 1 day. thanks to gov for pumping in the money.

i don't buy the "encouraging" motive.

why?

a) ewallet already existed for some time and if people are keen to use it, they have already used it - RM30 doesn't make a difference; and
b) the "encouragement" is conditioned - it's either the government don't care about the people who are not eligible or they are assuming these people are already using it OR they think RM30 won't make a difference to these people

the way i see, there are some other ulterior motive to this.

Bank Negara doesn't print money on monthly basis - the possible cost save is insignificant and unless Bank Negara is going to phase out paper notes entirely, not convincing.

Just give your some cases i have seen... My neighbor family all dont have ewallet except the son... But for this free rm 30 the son teach the whole family to register n claim ... N another friend who start to use ewallet more n more because of the cashbacks...

Of cos cant expect the whole malaysia to accept ewallet in a short duration... Just need to take small steps time by timr

with rm30, rakyat gumbira sakan...lulz...

It may be true that the son educates the entire family about ewallet but that doesn't mean that everyone will end up using ewallet especially more so when it is an elderly person who is not too well verse with e-banking.

While it may be an easy task for tech savvy youngsters, it may not be true for aforementioned elderly person - needing to go through the trouble of topping up FIRST then make payment through the application SECOND. They may even consider security as a factor - having everything transacted at a push on their smartphone seems, superficial.

If the objective of converting has failed, this translate to a loss of money and money is something the government has been lamenting day in-day out that they don't have.

Take for example the touch-and-go RFID thing, I do not know the actual statistics but based on what I have observed so far, the numbers of people who signed up aren't encouraging.

Your friend that started using ewallet starting using it at his/her own accord (that's what I was talking about in my initial post).

I like the idea of going cashless but by dishing out cash like that (especially when we don't any to spare) doesn't seem right.
