The Ministry of Finance (MOF) today has announced that the one-off RM200 e-wallet credit under the eBeliaRahmah initiative can be redeemed by those eligible next week. To be more specific, those eligible can claim it on Monday, 26 June 2023 via three e-wallet services in Malaysia: Boost, Setel and Touch ‘n Go (TnG) eWallet.
Just in case you missed it, the eBeliaRahmah initiative was introduced during Belanjawan 2023 earlier this year, and was later announced by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in Parliament last week that a rollout is expected to occur towards the end of this month. It was also previously revealed that the government has allocated a total of RM400 million for disbursement, with the aim to aid youths youths aged 18 to 20 as well as full-time students at higher learning institutes.
