Ramadan is also a time for doing things as a family. There’s just something special about coming together to sahur and buka puasa, as well as spending more time together doing family activities.
However, if you live alone or away from your family, this year’s Ramadan might get a little lonely and boring, especially since interstate travel is not allowed, so you can’t balik kampung. Sad 🙁
But don’t worry, gais, because this app not only sorts out some of your daily woes, it also comes with a fun game to keep you entertained throughout the festive season. You’ll also get rewarded while at it.
The MAE app can help you with your everyday money moments, especially if you’re currently preparing for Ramadan and Raya

Or, if you’re out shopping for baju Raya, yummy Raya food, and festive decor, make sure to use the Scan & Pay function to seamlessly pay for everything, while also earning cashback and other rewards. You could earn up to RM50 cashback from all kinds of popular places, including McDonald’s, KyoChon, and so many more.
And finally, don’t forget about the Tabung feature, which helps you come up with a savings plan to reach a specific goal. Whether you’re trying to save up to belanja your family this festive season or perhaps you want to start an emergency fund for yourself, the Tabung feature will help you reach your goal in no time.
