The Malaysian government is exploring the implementation of QR code-based payments for Small Rural Area (SARA) businesses. This initiative aims to modernize transactions at *tamu* (rural markets) and farmers’ markets nationwide. As of July 15th, the Ministry of Finance reported over 13,700 SARA business partners currently participating in the program. The move seeks to increase financial inclusion and efficiency within rural economies. Utilizing QR codes will streamline payment processes for both vendors and customers. Details on the rollout and implementation plan are expected to be announced soon. This expansion supports the government's broader digital transformation goals.
