Niaga SPOTLIGHT: RM100 SARA: Subsidy Revolution or StopGap?
RM2 billion. 22 million Malaysians. 48 hours.
On Merdeka weekend, the government rolled out Bantuan SARA — crediting RM100 directly into MyKad for every adult Malaysian.
In just two days, over 1.7 million people spent RM110 MILLION, sparking queues, system glitches, and this opportunity for national analysis.
Is this the future of digital subsidies — a blueprint for fuel, healthcare, and micro-finance aid — or a one-off relief that exposes cracks in our social safety net?
Join Tehmina Kaoosji with guests Derek Kok (Jeffrey Cheah Institute) and Vyshnavi Charrlotte (SERI) as they unpack the economics, technology, and human stakes behind Malaysia’s most ambitious cash aid rollout yet.
