Digi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd (Digi) launched the COVID-19 Aid campaign, part of its Yellow Heart crowdfunding initiative, aimed at enabling Digi customers to join in the cause to collect funds in support of the Ministry of Health (MOH) and frontline healthcare workers as they fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Yellow Heart COVID-19 Aid campaign complements Digi’s existing RM1 million contribution to the GLC Disaster Relief Network (GDRN) coalition to support the MOH in addressing the COVID-19 crisis.
The Digi COVID-19 Aid campaign will run for four weeks, and all proceeds will be used to acquire medical equipment, personal protective equipment (PPE) and other medical supplies required for hospitals involved in stemming Covid-19 across Malaysia, as guided by MOH.
In order to donate, Digi Prepaid and Postpaid customers just need to follow these simple steps:
- Launch the MyDigi app or download it via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store
- Under the Rewards section, select the Yellow Heart COVID-19 Aid Campaign Card
- Choose ther preferred denomination pass: RM2 / RM5 / RM10 / RM20
- Click “Confirm”

The donation campaign is open exclusively to Digi customers, where customers are limited to purchasing only one pass per denomination. This means, Digi customers can only donate each amount one time (RM2, RM5, RM10 and RM20 = RM37), with a total donation of RM37 per customer.
