Guan Eng: Govt will consider payments into bank accounts of beneficiaries without smartphones in e-Tunai programme | Malay MailBUTTERWORTH, Jan 18 — The government is willing to pay the RM30 due to each eligible Malaysian under its e-Tunai Rakyat (people’s e-cash) programme and accessible through selected e-wallet operators, by banking the allocation into the bank accounts of beneficiaries who do not have smart phones.... Kalau cash bukan lah namanya e-wallet, adoi PH tu tak faham ke e-wallet dgn e-tunai? Again, slow adopters will be upset. Digitalisation is change. We have ascertained the voting patterns that Malaysians reject change because we think we know better than everyone else. Yet we are so easily scammed because we believe in lies. I thought it’s to promote cashless system, not as cash handouts?
