Senarai Kedai MyKasih: Store List, How to Buy & Check Balance

The senarai kedai MyKasih for 2025 covers more than 1,200 participating outlets nationwide, from large supermarkets to small community shops. This wide network ensures employees can easily use their SARA assistance no matter where they live or work.

In this article, you will find the list of MyKasih stores, alongside the instructions on how to buy MyKasih items and check the MyKasih balance.

What is Kedai MyKasih?

Kedai MyKasih refers to participating supermarkets, mini markets, and convenience stores where employees can use their Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (SARA) benefits through the MyKasih system. Instead of giving out cash, the government channels assistance directly into the MyKad. When employees shop at these stores, the cashier system automatically deducts the approved items from their MyKasih balance.

This method ensures financial aid goes towards essential needs like food, hygiene products, and school supplies. Companies need to have a deep understanding of how Kedai MyKasih works to help them answer employee questions and provide accurate guidance about where and how the programme can be used.

Why HR Should Know About Kedai MyKasih

Employees often ask where they can use their MyKasih balance or which shops are included in the senarai kedai MyKasih. When HR can answer confidently, it:

• Builds employee trust and shows care for their welfare.

• Prevents confusion by pointing staff to official information instead of hearsay.

• Strengthens employer branding as a company that supports financial well-being.

How to Buy Items from Kedai MyKasih

Employees don’t need to carry cash when using MyKasih. The process is straightforward:

1. Go to a Participating Kedai MyKasih

Shop only at stores registered under the MyKasih programme, such as Mydin, Econsave, Lotus’s, Giant, Pacific, The Store, 99 Speedmart, and other approved outlets.

2. Select Approved Items

Choose items marked with the MyKasih label on the store shelf. These are restricted to the 14 approved categories.

3. Present MyKad at Checkout

At the cashier, give your MyKad. The cashier will confirm eligibility and scan the items.

4. System Deduction from MyKad Balance

The system will automatically deduct the purchase value from the MyKasih credit stored in the employee’s MyKad.

5. Enter 6-Digit MyKad PIN

The employee must enter their personal 6-digit MyKad PIN to authorise and complete the transaction.

6. Keep the Receipt

The receipt will show the purchased items and the remaining MyKasih balance. Employees should keep this as proof in case of disputes or future reference.

7. Pay Excess in Cash (if applicable)

If the total bill is higher than the available balance in MyKasih, employees will need to top up the difference using their own cash or other payment methods.

The balance is credited at the beginning of each month during the eligible period, so reminding employees to check their balance early helps them plan their shopping more effectively.
