Anthony Loke, Malaysia’s Minister of Transportation recently announced that all public transportation will apply an open payment system so you may be able to use credit and debit cards to pay for Public Transportation. Previously, you could only use tokens or Touch N’ Go cards to make digital payments for Public Transportation like buses, LRT, MRT and Komuter.

Touch ’n Go eWallet recently launched ‘Scan QR in/out Parking’ in Malaysia which gives users a more seamless payment experience at selected parking sites. Announced via a Facebook post, read on to find out more regarding the new feature.

Previously, we reported that the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) had recommended Touch ’n Go (TnG) implement several immediate actions to resolve issues arising from its services. TnG subsequently implemented a few initiatives following an engagement session with the KPDN special task force but now, the ministry has announced that they are still insufficient.

The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) has recommended Touch ’n Go (TnG) change the name of its visa card. This is because the word “Touch ’n Go” is synonymous with the toll payment system, hence it would confuse the public who may get the visa card for the purposes of paying for tolls when the card is unable to do so.

With CNY just around the corner, many are once more planning their balik kampung drive. As usual, we can expect massive congestion on major highways like PLUS Highway. Fortunately, the Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia plans to ease the burden this year.

Regarding the recent scam of a man who lost over RM23,000 from his Touch 'n Go (TNG) eWallet, the TNG eWallet company sent out a reminder on its social media about looking out for potential scammers. 

Just over the weekend, a 55-year-old man from Kuantan just got scammed hard. He only wanted to buy some Touch 'n Go (TnG) cards for his family but it turned into a nightmare as he lost RM23,514 to a scammer online.

Before Christmas, we reported that the Touch 'n Go (TNG) Visa Card is releasing soon and it looks like the company has started to roll out the application. It was first discovered in a Lowyat forum whereby a member could see the Visa Card logo on the TNG eWallet app.

Touch ’n Go (TnG) may be releasing a Touch ’n Go Visa Card soon as a frequently asked question (FAQ) regarding the card is currently up on the company’s official website. This development comes more than one year after TnG announced a strategic partnership with Visa.

Touch 'n Go eWallet just made another milestone. This time, the eWallet platform by TNG Digital Sdn Bhd has been expanded to Mainland China. The cross-border payment is made possible in a collaboration with Alipay+ which is operated by Ant Group.
