ORIGINAL POSTER

Everything else question here. As a regular tourist around Asia I'm interested in this Touch n Go Wallet. I've read the internet blurbs on it, but haven't spoken to anyone who's actually used it. What are the pros and cons? Cheers!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The Touch n Go Wallet is a Malaysian mobile payment system primarily designed for expressway toll payments. It's similar to using a credit card abroad, offering convenience but may have limitations in broader usage outside expressways.
