Payment solution GrabPay has
jumped on board the Malaysian government’s ePENJANA initiative,
under which the government will channel RM750 million into the hands
of an estimated 15 million e-wallet users to help local businesses recover
by encouraging them to shop for their wants and essentials. The
ePENJANA initiative comes under the short-term economic recovery
plan, with the Malaysian government providing RM50 ePENJANA credits
to users. Corresponding to the RM50 contribution from the government,
Grab will be topping up an additional RM50 worth of vouchers which can
be used for any Grab services or at any of Malaysia’s favourite restaurants
or shops nationwide. In addition to this, claimants can also earn
GrabRewards points which can be used as savings for any online or offline
transaction.
