GEORGE TOWN – The Finance Ministry will resolve the issue of rejected eMadani e-wallet credit applications, said deputy minister Lim Hui Ying.

“I am trying to gather more information, and the ministry will try to examine and resolve these concerns,” she told reporters after visiting the Chowrasta Market here today.

She said while many individuals have successfully received the one-off RM100 credit since it was launched last week, many eligible applicants also had their requests turned down.

Meanwhile, addressing the controversies surrounding her appointment as deputy finance minister in the recent cabinet reshuffle, Lim said the flak does not dampen her spirit to continue serving the public.

“I accept any comment with an open heart because I am not perfect. Everyone has weaknesses, shortcomings and strengths.

“I can only promise to serve the people of Malaysia and Penang to the best of my abilities,” said Lim, who received congratulations from Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow right after the announcement was made.

Prior to Tuesday’s cabinet reshuffle, Lim served as deputy education minister. – December 15, 2023
