Let's be honest — Malaysians love their phones. Whether it's for ordering food, paying tolls, or checking your vaccination cert (yes, remember that?), we've got an app for nearly everything. But among the hundreds out there, some truly stand out. So here's a chill rundown of 5 of the best Malaysian apps — the ones that aren't just useful, but have genuinely become part of our everyday life.

1. Touch 'n Go eWallet

Ever fumbled around looking for small change at a mamak stall or while exiting a car park? Yeah, same. That's where Touch 'n Go eWallet comes in like a hero.

With over 28 million users in Malaysia, this app does it all — pay tolls with RFID, scan to pay at shops, transfer money to friends, top up prepaid credit, settle bills, and even earn daily interest through its GO+ feature.

It's also got investment options now (like ASNB and Principal), plus insurance, remittance services, and a loyalty program (GOrewards). Honestly, it's less of an eWallet and more of a mini bank in your pocket.

2. Grab (Malaysia Version)

This one needs no introduction. Whether you're hungry, stranded, or need groceries during a Netflix binge, Grab's got your back.

More than just ride-hailing, Grab Malaysia now offers:

The best part? Everything's packed neatly into one app. It's like your all-in-one lifestyle assistant (minus the drama).


3. MAE by Maybank2u

If you're a Maybank user and you're still using the old M2U app… bro, you're missing out.

MAE (Maybank Anytime, Everyone) is like the cooler, younger sibling of Maybank2u — sleek interface, smoother navigation, and some smart money tools. It lets you:

And here's the kicker: even non-Maybank users can use MAE for eWallet services. That's how confident they are.


4. MySejahtera

Yes, we know... trauma. But hear us out.

MySejahtera was the app that got us through the pandemic. But it's evolved into something more — a national health app. Now, it helps with:

Since it was used by literally everyone in Malaysia at one point, the adoption rate was sky-high. And while we might not use it daily anymore, it's still a staple for anything health-related in the country.


5. AirAsia MOVE (formerly airasia Super App)

Planning a trip? Booking a hotel? Ordering food? Catching a ride? All of it can be done in AirAsia MOVE — and yes, it's from the same people who used to just fly planes.

They've expanded into:

It's a travel app, a ride-hailing app, and a shopping platform rolled into one. Plus, prices are usually lower than the big international players. Win-win.


So, what's the takeaway?

Malaysia's digital scene is thriving, and these apps prove it. They're not just locally built — they're locally loved. If you're not using at least 3 out of these 5… are you even Malaysian?
