News & Reviews:   Touch n Go

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.

Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi has announced that 12 more Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology lanes will be added by PLUS Expressway Berhad by mid-April this year. This is following complaints by highway users that a lack of RFID lanes is causing congestion at toll plazas.

Once again, Touch 'n Go will have another set of special enhanced cards. Collaborating with the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM), there will be four limited edition cards featuring our local professional badminton players, whereby fans can purchase them for sale this weekend.

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.

These days, scammers are taking new levels to trick people out of sending them money. So as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance protection and security for its users’ accounts, Touch ‘n Go eWallet just announced that there will be five new measures to combat financial scams.
