PETALING JAYA: Business operators are adopting e-wallets and QR-based systems in response to shifting consumer habits and broader digitalisation. Malaysian Muslim Restaurant Owners Association (Presma) president Datuk Mohamed Mosin Abdul Razak said the trend has accelerated since the Covid-19 pandemic. “Yes, we are certainly seeing more restaurants adopt cashless payment methods such as e-wallets and QR-based systems especially after the Covid-19 pandemic. SME Association of Malaysia president Dr Chin Chee Seong said most SMEs and micro enterprises are open to cashless systems. “While cashless payments are growing, SMEs still accept cash payments but it is more minimised now,” he said.
