If you've ever paid for petrol using the outdoor "pay-at-pump" terminal, you'll know how quick and convenient it is. But that convenience is now part of a bigger discussion, because the government is looking at whether overseas-registered credit cards should be blocked at these terminals, especially at petrol stations.

If you're one of the Malaysians eligible for the RM100 SARA cashless aid, yesterday was the day it starts landing and becoming usable. Like the previous round, the assistance is aimed at helping with everyday essentials, and the funds remain usable right through to the end of the year. In other words, it's not a "use it this week or lose it" situation, but something you can stretch out when you actually need it.

The Malaysian Ringgit Inflation Calculator is a powerful tool designed to help Malaysians determine how much their money's purchasing power has changed over time.

By utilizing historical inflation data from the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM), this calculator provides an insightful way to understand monetary value trends and forecast future financial decisions.
