Hoping For A Better Malaysia? It Starts With Each Of Us Doing Our Part

This Spotlight is sponsored by Boost.

Over the past 56 years, we have progressed as a nation in every way imaginable.

The Twin Towers forever changed the KL cityscape and has become the nation's signature attraction. We launched a national car, cheered on our athletes like Lee Chong Wei and Nicol David on the world stage, and made breakthrough scientific discoveries like developing a malaria vaccine.

Our food has made lists and headlines all over the globe, and people flock to our shores to experience our culture and heritage. We're a shopping haven, a business hub, and a holiday paradise!

We're always proud to support our homegrown brands when they do extraordinary things, and that's why we're always rooting for Boost. 100% Malaysian, the fastest growing e-wallet is leading the way to a cashless nation and we are totally on board.

Watch how Boost is pushing boundaries for a better Malaysia:

Maybe you'd like to see a cleaner Malaysia, where we don't have to worry about blocked drains in the city or litter on the beaches.

Perhaps you prioritise a healthier Malaysia, where the focus is on the people's mental and physical well-being.

A Malaysia that cares about kindness sounds nice too. Where we truly come together as brothers and sisters regardless of ethnicity.

And what about a progressive and fairer nation that promotes adoption of new technology but also gives equal opportunities to help local businesses?

With focus on a progressive and advanced Malaysia, Boost is on a journey to set us free from... bulky wallets!

Because let's face it, we have no time for coins that weigh us down, the frustration of lining up for ages at an ATM only to find that it's NOT WORKING, and all the inconvenience that comes with carrying cash.

The days of big company monopolies are fading with the introduction of e-wallets that allow small businesses to adopt new technologies easily.

Now even your local kedai runcit can set up a QR payment system, use POS solutions, track their business with analytics suites... just like the big guys, but at a fraction of the cost!

There are loads of Boost benefits and promotions for both customers and merchants, so be sure to show your support for our homegrown brands by flashing your app ;)
