Touch 'n Go to introduce new card with NFC capabilities

Amidst the drama surrounding the increased RFID implementation in multiple tolls and the phasing out of Touch ‘n Go and SmartTag lanes, Touch ‘n Go (TnG) is set to introduce a brand-new card that has Near Field Communication (NFC) capabilities.

The NFT-enabled card will allow users to easily top-up their TnG cards using an NFC-enabled phone via the TnG eWallet app.

Currently, the TnG card that has been on sale in the past 20 years does not have the option to top-up from the eWallet because it needs a specific card reader to complete the transaction. Shops with the specific card reader also only accept cash transactions.

TnG Digital Sdn Bhd Chief Executive Officer Ignatius Ong pointed out that this is part of the security measures to safeguard the TnG card transactions.

As of yet, TnG has not set an official launch date. But CarSifu reports that an announcement will come in the next few weeks. 

Oops... Something broke.

The scope of the new service tax will also be expanded to include logistics, meaning that the cost to transport finished cars and automotive parts will be higher next year. Details on effective implementation date, or guidelines for car workshops are still lacking so we will have to wait for a separate announcement from Customs. The use of the term service tax is also causing a

Review: Chery Omoda 5 in Malaysia - Bang-for-buck hero does its best to exorcise ghosts of Chery's past

Something about rising tides and lifting boats paints the picture of the Chinese car industry, and among the pleathora of startup small boats rolling into the vast sea you have your vessels; built on the back of years of trial and error, no doubt buoyed with a full coffer. Of course, for a fair few companies, the motivation to chart new waters is to correct missteps of years prior. 奇瑞, or Chery to you and I, will know very well what the latter means.
