It's crucial to note that while the RM100 e-wallet credit might not suit everyone's needs, attempting to convert the credit into cash is not an option. The Ministry of Finance emphasized in a statement released today, December 4, that they will not be accountable for any losses resulting from peer-to-peer cash redemptions, aiming to protect credit recipients from potential scams.
The government is clear that misuse of the benefit will not be tolerated. Actions such as suspending accounts and revoking credit privileges will be taken against individuals found misusing the eMadani credit for peer-to-peer transfers or cash redemptions, as this contradicts the program's intended goals.
The eMadani initiative was introduced to promote the digital economy and encourage cashless transactions. The Ministry of Finance specified that the credit should be utilized for physical purchases through designated e-wallets like MAE, Setel, ShopeePay, Touch 'n Go eWallet, or via QR DuitNow.
