00:00Easy and fast. That's what the recipients of the Rahmadi Sabah and Sarawak Funding Assistance
00:07who since January 15th, have been able to purchase goods using MyCard.
00:12One of the recipients, Sara from Limbang, Sarawak, Elizabeth Lunek, 37 years old,
00:17hopes that more lockers will be chosen to succeed in the government's initiative.
00:21Yes, it's good for the government's initiative because we don't have to go to the bank to withdraw money
00:29because it only shows the IC, just go to the shop, you can withdraw the goods.
00:34After that, every month you can plan your spending better because you can buy groceries.
00:39It's just that hopefully after this, there will be more shops that are chosen to withdraw this purchase.

00:49was distributed twice a year through cash.
00:53Sara's assistance was increased to RM2,100 this year,
00:57i.e. RM200 a month starting next April compared to RM100 previously.
