  • The Malaysian government unveiled support for businesses to automate and digitalise operations during the recent 2021 Budget announcement, with the aim of promoting long-term productivity. Measures include topping up the SME Digitalization Grant Scheme and the Automation Grant by up to RM150 million, as well as extending the Industrial Digitalization Transformation Scheme, valued at RM1 billion, till 2023.

Editor's comments:

  • The offerings target companies of all sizes.
  • It is a platform of empowering companies to have more choices and less vendor lock-in when it comes to providing health benefits to employees.
  • Without using such platform, internal HR team needs to meticulously manage different merchants and paper-works; on the other hand, the platform allows employee health benefits processes to be streamlined with industrial standards and workflows, so that the process can be easily followed-up and continue when there is a change of the HR teams.
  • The investment by Malaysian-based investor means Mednefits will also translate to more market penetration in Malaysia.
