Malaysians have a deep, almost spiritual connection with their morning meal; specifically, the unmistakable combo of a wrapped nasi lemak and a refreshing air ikat tepi
Recognising that these aren't just snacks but national icons, Touch 'n Go has officially turned these breakfast staples into something you can actually tap for payment.
The new Breakfast Plush Charm series marks the company's first foray into "cuddly" tech, blending the comfort of local food with the utility of a transit card.
While they look like miniature cushions for your keys or bag, these charms are fully functional trinkets
Each plush is embedded with Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, allowing it to act as a digital twin to your standard Touch 'n Go card.
Whether you are navigating a highway toll, entering a parking lot, or catching a train, you simply need to find the NFC symbol on the charm and tap it against the reader.
The design is intentionally nostalgic, aimed at commuters who want to add a bit of personality to their lanyards or backpacks
If the nasi lemak and iced drink aren't enough to satisfy your craving for collectables, the company has already confirmed that the menu is growing; two more locally inspired designs are set to join the collection on 19 March.
Available for RM55.90, the Touch 'n Go Breakfast Plush Charm is currently sold exclusively via the TNG Shop
Due to the high demand often associated with these novelty releases, the items are available exclusively through the official TNG Shop while stocks last.
Those interested in adding these miniature breakfast staples to their collection can find more details or purchase them via the official portal.
