Truth : MyKasih Free Cash App Is A Scam!
This is yet another example of SCAMS circulating on WhatsApp and Telegram, and here are reasons why…
Fact #1 : MyKasih Free Cash Initiative Is A Scam!
First, let me just point out that these messages on WhatsApp and Telegram, as well as the websites promoting the MyKasih free cash initiative is a scam!
The Malaysian government have already labelled these free cash offers as FAKE NEWS on Facebook and Twitter. Here is a non-exhaustive list of links that have been identified as scam links:
my.mykasihh.online
l.my-kasihapp.com
apps-mykasih.co/twe
There’s no need to memorise these links. These scammers will keep changing them.
Just know that the official MyKasih website is www.mykasih.com.my. Do NOT go to any other website when it comes to the MyKasih Foundation website.
Fact #2 : Those Accounts Were Hijacked
Those viral messages are actually coming from WhatsApp and Telegram accounts that have been hijacked by scammers. That’s why they are so convincing.
Those are really the actual WhatsApp and Telegram accounts of your family members or friends. But they have been taken over by scammers using tricks like the screenshot hack.
Take this opportunity to tighten the security of your own Telegram and WhatsApp accounts, by turning on two-step verification!

Fact #3 : SARA Cash Aid Is Only RM600
As part of its initiative to help the hardcore poor handle the high inflation this year, the Malaysia Ministry of Finance announced SARA (Sumbangan Asas Rahmah).
However, the SARA cash aid is only RM600, and limited to the hardcore poor. There is no way for anyone to get RM800, RM1000 or RM1,200 in SARA cash aid from the government.
RM100 x 6 months is credited directly into the MyKad of eligible hardcore poor, allowing them to purchase a limited list of essential goods from grocery stores and supermarkets across Malaysia, from July to December 2023.
In Sabah and Sarawak, the RM600 is credited directly into the bank account, or provided as cash through Bank Simpanan Nasional branches.
Fact #4 : SARA Recipients Are Automatically Selected
There is no need to apply for SARA cash aid. For one thing – it only applies to the hardcore poor. If you are reading this on a computer or a smartphone, you very likely do not qualify as “hardcore poor”.
SARA recipients are automatically determined using the existing eKasih Hardcore Poor data, and includes those who had earlier qualified for the STR 2023 cash aid.
Fact #5 : Real Website Asks Only For Your MyKad
Qualification for the SARA cash aid of RM600 is based entirely on your MyKad number.
On the official Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (SARA) website, you can check for your eligibility using your MyKad number only.
The fake websites look just like the real SARA website, but instead of asking for your MyKad number, they will ask you for your mobile number and ask you to submit a TAC number.
Needless to say – these are scam websites. You should NEVER submit your phone number or any TAC codes.
