This 31st August 2025, flags will fly high and everyone will gather at Dataran Putrajaya to celebrate Merdeka.
On top of the celebrations, there’s good news for all Malaysians aged 18 and above.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced in July that everyone will get a one-off RM100 cash aid through the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (SARA) program.
The best part? The money goes straight into your MyKad. No hassle at all!
