Remember the RM100 SARA cash aid that the government is handing out to all citizens aged 18 and above? You can now check whether you are eligible to receive the cash aid via both the MyKasih web portal and its app. Though rather than an actual eligibility check, this would more likely be a balance check.
In addition to eligibility and balance, you can also get a list of participating merchants from where you can spend the RM100 SARA cash. That being said, you naturally can’t spend said cash now, as the program only starts on 31 August. And when it does, you have until 31 December to make use of it.
In case you missed it, all you need to make use of the SARA RM100 cash aid is your MyKad. There’s no need for any registration process, and it doesn’t involve the Touch ‘n Go feature that’s built into your MyKad.
Beyond that, using the SARA RM100 cash is a bit like using a debit card. You present your MyKad and enter your PIN when making payment. When using it for the first time, you’ll be asked to change your default PIN. Eligible items will deduct their price from your available funds.
