Cashless is the way forward


OVER the past few days, my WhatsApp group chats have all been buzzing non-stop about the e-Tunai Rakyat initiative. It is the talk among family members, especially my siblings, and there’s a lot of chatter about it on Facebook as well. (I’m one of those uncles who’s always on Facebook and I watch the news four or five times a day, so I know a thing or two).

In my honest opinion, I feel this is a very good initiative by the government because it is literally giving free money to Malaysians! It’s just that this money is in digital form. I don’t mind getting on the cashless game, really.
