Commonly, many of us would like to avoid paying taxes if given a choice. However, the act of refraining from paying taxes will lead to major consequences we never thought of. 
Recently, a notable celebrity doctor shared a few videos through his TikTok account <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@say_shazril0">@say_shazril0</a> on his unpleasant experience of dealing with the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN) when he was contacted back in October 2020. He shared the incident he experienced to warn and urge the public to pay their taxes responsibly, especially YouTubers, influencers, TikTokers, and any freelancers who thought they were smart enough to escape from it.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/415574957a4513e006fc492d26522eaaa663f56eee9e1936f298d36642360df0" />
Looking back at that moment, he received a letter from LHDN and was summoned by them to come to their office due to him not paying taxes for the vast and numerous content he posted on social media. 
Previously, he thought it was a scam but when a second letter came to knock at his door, he was like &ldquo;Shit, this was real!&rdquo; 
When he arrived at the LHDN office, piles of documents were presented to him and that led him to feel shocked as to how they were able to trace all the evidence of the social media campaign he did for several brands since 2016. 
As such, you can&rsquo;t avoid your responsibility, right? 
Dr. Shazril looked so "kantoi-ed" when he knew he couldn&rsquo;t hide as a means to protect himself when the truth was revealed in front of his eyes. 
The interrogation went on for hours and he was questioned on how much he charged for each campaign as well as his earnings for both shows named Tanya Doktor and MyDoctors. With that, he disclosed everything truthfully just so it would be easier for both parties. 
According to LHDN, they investigated that Dr. Shazril owned a few assets such as a house, car, and motorcycle, and from there, they realized he earned RM160,000 annually between 2018 and 2019. 
Fortunately, the interrogation was merely a &ldquo;test&rdquo; as LHDN wanted to know if Dr. Shazril was a truthful person. 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/12f72214b1ad03d6111f0f9ca38f3464368cd41b0b4fb84f079108003a608606" />
After a thorough calculation from LHDN, apparently, he only needed to pay a total of RM50,000 to them but still, he was cracking his head as to how he was able to settle his tax liabilities in a month. 
Thankfully, an LHDN officer named Raihan was polite and supportive enough to manage his case. He requested him to search for all his receipts just so he could reduce his tax liabilities. In the end, from RM50,000, he managed to reduce the enormous amount to RM40,000! Moreover, another good news came when he was allowed to pay it on a few installment basis. So to say, his hard work of searching through highs and lows was worthwhile to ease his burden at least. 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/38569e63bfdad7ce76846a57cd5e277cb41a031a8d0d39fcf79a49543e2fb698" />
It can be said that Dr. Shazril truly learned his lesson. Now, he cultivates the habit of keeping all the receipts, arranging and sorting them accordingly for his own track record just so he can prove to LHDN whenever they are in quest of him. 
In one of his videos, he said, &ldquo;Pay your taxes. This is what contributes to the economy. Don&rsquo;t be like the old me, and fulfil your responsibilities.&rdquo; 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/4231cee6d8e04df1305aa3b572599edcd6ac324b11f98e14286dd38b4ff22bce" />
This is to say, be it young or old, paying taxes is an inevitable process that everyone has to go through and is required to commit to. 
Here is a list of videos that he posted in his TikTok to alert and educate the public about paying taxes and the huge consequences of not doing so: 
Video 1: Received letters from LHDN twice asking him to visit its office which he previously thought was a scam.

Kalau tak tahu, boleh belajar basic pencukaian kat Lhdntube di Youtube. Kongsilah video ni kat kawan2/ family members korang supaya mereka tak terhantuk sebelum tengadah. Thank u sudi ikut 3 episod slot Akasia sy.

In a recent announcement, the current Prime Minister and Finance Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, officially declared the commencement of registration and claims for eMadani. This one-off e-wallet credit of RM100 will be applicable from December 4, 2023, until February 20, 2024.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/f9df8eed3b9d63e0bdc1b4c79e521e3ede4e5ccb8cfaaab96c625a73a2e868f9" />
The initiative is poised to benefit a substantial number of Malaysians, with approximately 10 million eligible individuals set to receive the e-wallet credit. The Minister, during the presentation of the Supply Bill 2024 for its second reading at the Dewan Rakyat Negara on Wednesday, November 29, emphasized that the allocation for this program amounts to RM1 billion. This significant investment underscores the government's commitment to fostering financial inclusivity and providing direct support to citizens.

The launch of the RM100 e-wallet credit will be made applicable to those Malaysians who meet the following requirements: 
Criteria For Eligibility 
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Open to Malaysians aged 21 and above. </li>

<li>Receiver of Sumbangan Tunai Ramah (STR) or, </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Malaysians who earn less than RM100,000 annually in accordance with records from LHDN as of 15 July 2023. </li>
</ol>
With that being said, there are four designated wallets that are qualified to claim or redeem the RM100 namely:

In a parallel development, Anwar underscored Malaysia's triumph in securing substantial investment commitments totalling RM347 billion. These commitments were the result of official visits, trade missions, and investment initiatives in countries such as China, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the US.
Anwar acknowledged the pivotal role played by government agencies, particularly the Ministry of Investment, Trade, and Industry (MITI), in securing these significant investment commitments. Furthermore, the government has already granted approval to investments amounting to RM132.6 billion, surpassing 60% of the target set for the first half of 2023, as reported by the <a href="https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2023/11/984400/registration-and-claim-rm100-emadani-credit-starts-monday-pm-anwar">New Straits Times. </a>

A Paw-Some Affair: Mark Adam Treats Feline Friend Rokieya To A Lavish Fine Dining Experience!

In the past decade or so, the dining scene in Malaysia has witnessed a notable surge in the popularity of Western cuisine restaurants catering to an ever-growing community of foodies. From sizzling steaks and delectable pasta to gourmet burgers and international fusion creations, these establishments offer a delightful fusion of global tastes within the heart of Malaysia.&nbsp;
Restaurants or hipster cafes specialising in Western cuisines are typical in the F&amp;B industry, but have you ever had Western dishes at a warung? If you haven&rsquo;t, head to Nan &amp; Co in Ara Damansara to jump on the bandwagon. Don&rsquo;t walk, but run!
What&rsquo;s On The Menu?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/04f45b2f290278da0f2168a3ab4534eaa718483934463ba2e1e6f9df6ccc4991" alt="" width="564" height="657" />
Nan &amp; Co has been making rounds on social media on their one-of-a-kind warung offerings. Instead of serving the usual Malaysian warung delicacies, they went down the route of cooking up Western and Italian classic meals. With a variety of pasta and chops priced inexpensively with generous portions, it attracts people to queue up.&nbsp;
Catering to Malaysians' palates, their Western offerings touch what Malaysians are familiar with. For instance, their Chummee (RM15) &ndash; spicy pasta topped with spicy mushrooms and grilled chicken thigh &ndash; is a fusion of Italian and Malaysian cuisine essence. Rather than using dory or other types of fish for their fish &lsquo;n&rsquo; chips (RM19), they preferred Alaskan pollock with chips, chef&rsquo;s unique mix of veggies topped with homemade tartare sauce.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6dd1238dc960295c15aa3262ada0e7fa3a75e1030940c73572b640e4bfcb219f" alt="" width="532" height="655" /> Chummee (RM15)

But fret not; as much as they cater to Malaysians' palates, their dedication to serving only the best to their customers is remarkable. They sourced all their premium ingredients from suppliers in Kuala Selangor to maintain only the freshest guaranteed for their diners.

Nan And His Passion For Cooking

Nan, the man behind Nan &amp; Co, who&rsquo;s also the chef, wasn&rsquo;t professionally trained to be a chef; instead, he was an architect cum interior designer before retiring to the kitchen of Nan &amp; Co. Nan admitted the idea of opening up a warung serving Western dishes came to him when a longtime colleague shared the same passion hence, the birth of the hottest warung in Ara Damansara.&nbsp;
Embracing his love for cooking, Nan traded floor plans for fusion food &ndash; where he defied the conventional career trajectories. His story is a testament to the idea that success knows no professional boundaries. Through dedication and a genuine passion for cooking and eating, he has proven that one can ascend to new heights regardless of prior expertise. Nan has mastered the art of reinvention and provided a unique dining experience to his diners, showing that genuine passion can propel individuals to extraordinary realms of achievement.

Western Culinary Delights Awaits At Nan & Co. – Hottest Warung In Damansara

The National Stadium at Bukit Jalil holds a special place in our thoughts, standing as a prestigious venue with a remarkable capacity of 85,000 spectators, making it the largest in Southeast Asia. Globally, it claims the fourth spot in Asia and the fifth largest in the world. Its solid reputation was established during the grand opening of the 1988 Commonwealth Games, inaugurated by the former Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohammad, on July 11, 1998. 
Since then, the stadium has been a focal point for numerous international multi-sport events, such as the 2001 and 2017 Southeast Asian Games, hosting Malaysian international football matches, national-level football competitions like the Malaysia FA Cup, as well as various events ranging from athletics to music concerts.
Most recently, the stadium witnessed an overwhelming influx of Coldplay fans, eagerly anticipating the band's first-ever concert in Malaysia.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/103ef8b4ba5b8a6d3ebac523fa6c92a16e087b9820123d151a195f2eba29a1db" />
While the stadium serves a multitude of purposes, the challenge lies in providing an optimal viewing experience for visitors, whether attending football competitions or musical concerts. To address this, recently, a Malaysian software engineer named Afrie Irham has ingeniously created a <a href="https://bukitjalilstadium.com/">user-friendly website.</a> This platform allows event-goers to preview the view from their chosen seats before purchasing tickets.
Afrie drew inspiration from a US-based domain creator, Peter Askew, who developed a similar site for his hometown's football stadium in Mississippi. Askew expressed the importance of offering fans a glimpse of their chosen section before making a significant ticket purchase &ndash; a sentiment that resonated with Afrie and motivated him to create a similar tool for the local stadium.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/06e3a4cd3c8417a8f8eced4426797a77fed9469e746e79ba1eee2e1939dbf9c3" />
Afrie embarked on the ambitious task of capturing photos from as many sections as possible during a football match between Malaysia and Kyrgyzstan. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, he couldn't cover the entire stadium, focusing on seats from levels 2 and 3, excluding level 1 and the grandstand area. Despite these limitations, Afrie considers the website a valuable resource and aspires to complete a comprehensive coverage of the entire stadium. He expresses hope in collaborating with the stadium's officials to transform the project into an official and extensive resource for all visitors.

In the displayed video, you have the convenience of selecting your preferred seat by simply pressing the corresponding seat number. Once selected, a gallery of images will be presented, allowing you to zoom in at 1.0 or 0.5x for a crystal-clear view. This feature is designed to enhance your seat viewing experience, providing a detailed and precise preview to aid in making an informed choice before purchasing your tickets. 
Netizens&rsquo; Reaction To The Creation Of Website 
The online community expressed a collective sense of pride and fascination for the software engineer's ingenuity, applauding his creative and innovative mind. Admirably competent, he effortlessly crafted a website that offers both ease and convenience for stadium visitors seeking an enhanced experience. Meanwhile, in the online discourse, one netizen went so far as to request tagging YB Hannah Yeoh, while another made a unique request, asking for a preview not only of the seating but also of the prayer hall and restroom facilities.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e483725c1607128b03a12fced42837cb94908e7af786d8493b951582cf2f32fa" />
All in all, the grandeur stadium has also been used for musical concerts for notable artists like Billie Eilish, Jay Chou, BLACKPINK, Muse and most recently Coldplay. 
In the end, it is spectacular to be able to witness the view of the gorgeous stadium in accordance with our preferred seats, and with that being said, we hope the software engineer is able to successfully capture the entire view of the stadium just so many will be enticed to have a look at the website as well as the anticipation of visiting the enormous stadium physically. :)

Score The Perfect Seat: Malaysian Innovator Unveils Website For Prime Views At Bukit Jalil National Stadium!

Navigating the realm of public transport presents a delicate balance between convenience and concerns. While it stands as a valuable solution to alleviate town traffic, the drawbacks, such as the cost and the anonymity of drivers, underscore potential risks. Yet, the hazards are not exclusive to passengers alone; e-hailing drivers also face their share of vulnerabilities, making the entire transportation landscape a nuanced tapestry of safety considerations.
Recently, an elderly Grab driver barely dodged a life-threatening situation in Sungai Petani last Monday when a 13-year-old boy tried to stab him after a failed attempt at robbery. The boy has since been in police custody mere hours after the driver made a police report on the incident.
What Went Down?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5cf6c1be357fff3bd4c761767b223ed36e9d34cadb827436a0ff59ce6f595530" alt="" width="612" height="408" />
The unfortunate event unfolded when the Grab driver received a booking to be picked up at Long Keladi 12 and dropped off at Lorong Astana 9/7 in Bandar Sri Astana. Along the way, the boy asked the driver to borrow RM50 to pay his house rent, but the driver claimed he had none to lend to the boy. When the driver suspected the boy did not have money to pay for the fare, he told him he would have to drop him off immediately. The boy insisted on dropping him off at the initial drop-off point so he could get the money to pay the fare.&nbsp;
However, upon reaching the destination, the boy made the driver return to his earlier pick-up point and gave the driver RM18 for the fare. On their way back to Long Keladi, the boy took the driver through narrow alleyways, which made the driver angry &ndash; feeling the boy was playing him. Little did he know, the boy was attempting to delay his impending horror.&nbsp;
Once they finally reached the final destination, the driver asked for an additional RM9, and the boy handed him RM20. When the driver was counting his change, the boy took out a knife, stabbed the driver, and tried to snatch the money away.
Luckily, the driver was fast enough to retaliate and grabbed the boy&rsquo;s hand and bit him before the boy escaped without his money and the knife. As luck would have it, the knife didn&rsquo;t go through his torso, thanks to his seatbelt (If you ever need a reminder to ALWAYS wear your seatbelt, this is it).

PDRM Remands The Teenager

In his statement, Assistant Commissioner Zaidy Che Hassan, Kuala Muda OCPD, confirmed the boy was taken into custody at 10 pm the same day of the incident. &ldquo;The suspect is being remanded to assist the investigation under Section 393 of the Penal Code for attempted robbery&rdquo;. The knife used by the boy was also seized after being left with the driver. From the look, the knife seemed to be the kind of knife commonly used in home kitchens.
Upon further investigation, the boy is the eldest of four siblings and didn&rsquo;t come from a troubled family. The boy also tested negative for drugs and did not have any prior criminal records. Asst Comm Zaidy stated that the boy was motivated to stab the driver when he was scolded by the driver &ndash; going back and forth for the journey.
What Netizens Have To Say About The Incident
With the dashcam footage of the incident going viral on various social media platforms, the netizens have a lot to say, where a majority leaning towards criticising the boy for his audacity to commit such behaviour and expressing their concerns for the driver&rsquo;s wellbeing.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
Fact. The young boy STABBED the old man. With a knife. It could have been a murder. Someone&rsquo;s father, brother, uncle could have died. Time to prosecute. Clear cut evidence of attempted murder. No race nor religious reasoning needed. Ni boleh jadi kejadian mati tau tak?

Pushing aside the boy&rsquo;s motive, considering his young age, psychological intervention might come in handy.

#CloseCall: Grab Driver Narrowly Avoids Stabbing By A 13-Year-Old

In today's digital era, the predominant method of conducting financial transactions has shifted from traditional cash exchanges to online payments, ushering in a new level of convenience for consumers. Platforms such as Touch 'n Go (TnG) exemplify this transition, providing users with comfort and ease in managing their day-to-day financial activities.
However, it is crucial to acknowledge that the realm of online payments is not without its share of risks. A recent incident unfolded at a cafe nestled in Oakland Commerce Square, Seremban, serving as a stark reminder of the potential pitfalls associated with digital transactions. 
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Flim.yingzz%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0YP2ix3zbVMnLmpzGCn46DQQweLULR5SNqeGL2KcuShrFK168Sf55WnryqzZH4rNQl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="703" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Fortunately, the cafe successfully thwarted a deceptive QR code scam, underscoring the importance of vigilance in navigating the evolving landscape of online payments with the help of a vigilant customer who felt something strange and this allowed the cafe to avert any potential financial pitfalls. 
The target of this deceptive manoeuvre was reported to be a trendy cafe that had recently graced the local scene, quickly becoming a favourite among food enthusiasts within the span of a few months.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/3ce839357b5d274ceeace55d542acf82982a2576e6beecc63d256117291c00b1" />
Upon processing the payment, an unexpected revelation surfaced as the name appearing on the payment prompt did not align with the cafe's identity. Investigation unravelled a disconcerting truth &ndash; the authentic QR code had been surreptitiously replaced with a fraudulent counterpart meticulously designed to reroute payments into an unknown individual's account.
According to the cafe owner, the unsuspecting nature of individuals carrying multiple Touch 'n Go stickers became the opportune moment for the fraudster to discreetly affix a deceptive QR code. Unfortunately, the cafe's system was inoperable at the time, rendering it incapable of identifying the perpetrator, as mentioned by the <a href="https://n9.chinapress.com.my/?p=148177">China Press.</a>
In light of this unfortunate incident, the cafe owner earnestly advises fellow business owners and the public to exercise caution when it comes to QR codes. Vigilance is paramount, and considering additional and appropriate security measures is strongly recommended to prevent falling victim to the snares of QR scams.
Why Do People Easily Fall Trapped By QR Code Scams? 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/683e4b030e62a316ff4c35b173d82b04a0974008f7d0552b22d56d94118dcce0" />
In contemporary times, the prevalence of QR code scams has surged alongside the widespread integration of QR codes into our daily routines. Associate Professor Jiow Hee Jhee, aged 51 and affiliated with the Singapore Institute of Technology in the realm of cybercrime research, astutely notes, &ldquo;As society embraces electronic payment and financial transactions, scammers inevitably devise tactics to exploit this trend. The ubiquity of QR codes makes them particularly susceptible to manipulation by fraudsters.&rdquo;
Adding to this perspective, Mr. Kenny Yeo, a 47-year-old director and the head of the Asia Pacific cyber security practice at consultancy firm Frost &amp; Sullivan, underscores that the escalating incidence of QR code scams is a direct consequence of the evolving landscape of digital communication and transactions. QR codes, now a commonplace feature of modern life, represent the latest iteration in the continuum of digital technologies.
Reflecting on the evolution of communication methods, we transitioned from calls to SMS (short message service), progressed through email with embedded links, embraced platforms like WhatsApp and Telegram, and have now seamlessly incorporated QR codes into the fabric of everyday existence. As per Mr. Yeo, QR codes are the contemporary norm, marking the latest advancement in our digital journey.
How To Protect Yourself From Being The Victims Of QR Scams? 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5dc63322d7fa18c865a071ab808e6742a139fb56007fe6788062387ae5895a35" />
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Take a look at the website once you scan the QR code because there&rsquo;s a possibility that the website directed from the QR code is a scam. With that being said, you may need to pay attention to details like the URL website to determine if it is a legitimate one before proceeding further, as said by Richard Gardner, the CEO of Modulus.&nbsp; </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">You can have a QR code scanner app which is deemed free and low cost. As you open the app and scan the QR code and realize that it is a fake one, you will then be notified. However, the potential downside is, that there are fake QR code scanner apps which we may fall into.&nbsp; </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Keep your phone updated with security patches as this will help to prevent malware if you do wind up downloading something malicious. </li>
</ol>
Here's a video showing QR code scams that diners need to be watchful of:

Shining the spotlight on the education package in the budget, underprivileged students enrolled in public or private higher education institutions are set to receive these various benefits. A few noteworthy schemes included are:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">RM500 book voucher for at least 35,000 students enrolled in higher education institutions,</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Free laptops for underprivileged students coming from families with household per capita income of RM1500 and below per month,</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">RM30 million to assist those who have repaid a minimum of 30 per cent of their&nbsp; Perbadanan Tabung Pendidikan Tinggi Nasional (PTPTN) loans.</li>
</ul>
Not to mention, the large sum of operating grants for Sarawak&rsquo;s local higher education institutions, including the University of Technology Sarawak and Kolej Laila Taib, amounting to RM40 million. Also, an added RM6 million to fund the Tunku Abdul Rahman scholarship for eligible students. Now, that&rsquo;s one way to put the money to good use 🤑
A Good Move by the State Government
With the announcement of the 2024 budget focusing on the education package, this will be a massive financial aid to many Sarawakians out there. Especially for students who grapple with financial issues, this monetary aid is a beacon of hope for them on top of the inflation and the ever-rising living costs. Such financial assistance backed by the government will be the driving force in transforming the education landscape. In return, we can sow the seeds of future leaders, innovators and creatives to put Malaysia on the map.

Financial aid in the education sector is not merely an expenditure but an investment in human potential and the collective well-being of a state. As these students rise above their circumstances, armed with knowledge and skills, they become the architects of a brighter future for themselves and invaluable contributors to the socio-economic fabric of the state. Well done Sarawak!

9-Month Pregnant Malaysian Woman Thrives With Nasi Lemak Venture In Puchong!

How many Malaysians consistently opt for cashless transactions over the hassle of frequent ATM visits? With the introduction of systems like QR pay, a growing number of Malaysians are embracing this payment method for its speed, simplicity, and convenience&mdash;all at their fingertips through mobile devices. Whether at roadside stalls or various establishments, the option to make payments via QR code is now ubiquitous.
The primary concern for many was the challenge of using the system while travelling abroad. On a positive note, in May, Malaysia and Indonesia collaboratively introduced a joint QR payment system, eliminating the need for citizens to grapple with currency exchange issues. And now, there's better news to share.
Maybank MAE Users Can Now Use QR Pay In China
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a4459ef41bda5333cf1aec67142d395ea51b4edd3e2fbee3ec290bbb47f18b59" />
For Malaysians who frequently visit China, there's exciting news in store. Maybank's MAE app can now be used for Alipay QR payments in China, marking Maybank as the first bank to expand its cross-border QR pay service to China. This development is set to benefit over 8 million Maybank MAE app users.
Maybank's cross-border QR payment has not only expanded to China but also to other countries, including Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore. According to Maybank's Group CEO of Community Financial Services, Dato&rsquo; John Chong, this move demonstrates the bank's commitment to enhancing customer convenience and aligning with its strategic goal of expanding its regional presence through Maybank's M25+ strategy.
Chong highlighted that entering the Chinese market presents a valuable opportunity to tap into its dynamic and prosperous market, further solidifying Maybank's international presence. This development is a significant milestone in their mission to provide secure and seamless payment solutions, and they are eagerly anticipating introducing this enhancement to their customers.
How Do We Use MAE To Scan QR Codes?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c3d2c5ea66a5c9d2c0e44aae59d980a39329db6251f422c623b45d1c4a38522e" />
Just like our current use of QR pay, the process remains identical. The added advantage is that the currency will automatically determine its exchange rate for you!
But just in case you still need it, here&rsquo;s a step-by-step guide:
<ul>
<li>Launch the MAE App and tap the Scan QR button.</li>
<li>Scan the merchant&rsquo;s Alipay QR logo.</li>
<li>Key in the payable amount in the foreign currency.</li>
<li>When the display screen shows the exchange rate, tap Pay Now to confirm.</li>
<li>In case the amount exceeds RM2050, all you have to do is key in your authorisation pin.</li>
<li>Once the payment is done, a confirmation page will display the amount spent in MYR and the foreign currency.</li>
</ul>
Currently, users can only scan Alipay merchant QR codes, as regulatory restrictions prevent support for Peer-to-Peer (P2P) cross-border QR payments. Additionally, here is the list of available "Cross-border DuitNow QR" options for MAE in other countries.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/4f221139b382f31adc401cbb835d8a04ceb215c4db9daf52ad15985d343b6794" />

Visitors From China Can Also Scan Maybank QR Pay
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5aebfcb21c6c1e6420906aba172ace8f1fa73522fdd0692eca72b56e3af0cdfd" />
Apart from facilitating Malaysian spending in China, Maybank has also revealed that their extensive network of over 700,000 Maybank QRPay merchants in Malaysia can now accept payments from Chinese visitors. This provides a convenient and secure payment experience for tourists, who can scan the DuitNow QR code using Alipay.
This strategic move is the result of Maybank's collaboration with PayNet to assist both Malaysians travelling to China and Chinese tourists coming to Malaysia. PayNet has also announced that DuitNow QR merchants can now accept payments from 8 Asian eWallets, including Alipay, AlipayHK, HelloMoney by AUB, Hipay, MPay, Naver Pay, Toss Pay, and TrueMoney.
According to Maybank, Chinese tourists remain a crucial target segment for Malaysia, with the Tourism Ministry anticipating around 16 million tourists in 2023, including an estimated 5 million from China. Before the pandemic, Chinese tourists significantly contributed RM15.3 billion to tourist receipts in 2019.
Honestly, this is something we've always needed, and it's commendable to witness Maybank taking such proactive initiatives. It's no surprise that they stand out as one of the prominent banks in the Southeast Asia region.
Maybe it's time to test this out and plan a holiday to China. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments!
