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!
Still wondering how it works? Let’s break it down.
Every Malaysian aged 18 and above is automatically eligible for this one-off RM100 SARA assistance.
No forms to fill out, no registration required. Just bring your MyKad, and the aid is ready for you.
Imagine if a household has 5 family members aged 18 and above. That means your family will receive RM500 in total!
That’s enough to stock up on groceries for a month or necessities for the weeks ahead.
No stress, no confusion. To find out if you’re eligible:
Visit the official SARA website
Enter your MyKad number
Get your results instantly
RM100 may seem small, but if spent wisely, it can go a long way.
With this program, you can shop for 14 categories of essential goods at over 7,300 participating stores and supermarkets across Malaysia, with the list of outlets continually growing.
Approved items include everyday necessities, so you can make the most of your aid.
The spending period runs from August 31, 2025, until December 31, 2025. So plan your purchases to maximise every ringgit.
Redeeming this aid is super easy. Just follow these steps:
