I plan to spend the RM100 eMadani money on children’s necessities. To meet the needs of the children, I use the eMadani eWallet.

I used the Touch ‘n Go app to withdraw the money and spent it at the supermarket. I spent RM100 from eMadani to buy essentials for my grandmother, who is sick and unable to walk. This includes adult diapers, milk, and even medicine.

I withdrew the money from the eMadani eWallet and spent it at the supermarket using the ShopeePay app. It’s very important to supplement our daily meals while waiting for the end of the month, by utilising RM100 from eMadani.
