Instead of holding the normal Touch'nGo (TNG) card we're using currently, we can opt for the mobile version of it via a new app called Touch'nGo eWallet. However, at this current juncture, you CANNOT reload your TNG card with the app. Don't be angry first. Let's give them sometime to sort things out.
Anyway, you can view your TNG card balance and last 5 transactions real-time via the eWallet app. That's pretty good though!
