The JKM Pay project was announced last year, aimed to distribute payments to welfare recipients via cashless means. However, this project has received some criticisms, with Senator Datuk Ras Adiba urging the government to review its implementation and approach.

Finally, we discuss how digital services can be improved to bridge the gaps to help people with disabilities.
