FADILLAH PRAISES CASHLESS PAYMENT SYSTEM AT PUTRAJAYA RAMADAN BAZAAR

PUTRAJAYA, March 20 (Bernama) -- The cashless payment system at the Putrajaya Ramadan Bazaar has caught the attention of Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, who sees the initiative as a user-friendly approach that benefits both traders and buyers.

He said the initiative not only simplifies transactions but also speeds up the process, reduces the risk of theft and makes the bazaar more organised.

“This cashless payment system is better and easier, reducing cash transactions,” he told reporters at the launch of the QR Code Scan and Pay (Cashless) programme at the Ramadan Bazaars in Presint 14 and Presint 11 here today.

Also present at the event was Putrajaya Corporation president Datuk Fadlun Mak Ujud.

Meanwhile, today’s event featured sponsorships of canopies, aprons and hats for all traders by MAE in collaboration with Maybank Islamic and Paynet.
