Touch ‘n Go RFID not working? One angry driver has an extreme solution

 

HOW do we know if a person is having a bad day? There should be signs. But for one person, it could be something as obvious as ramming the obstacle bar at the Touch ‘n Go RFID.

According to a video post on X by #UpdateInfo, a car could be seen reversing when the gate wouldn’t open for it.

The driver behind who was recording everything with the dash cam must have expected it to reverse out.

But instead, the car did the unexpected by gathering speed and smashing its way out of the tol. From the looks of it, the driver must have gotten stuck several times at the RFID to become so frustrated.

Netizen LaPoca in a hilarious comment pointed out the abbreviation of RFID as the reason behind the driver’s behaviour.

Also, many netizens said the RFID system is not very effective, with many users being stuck when the sensor failed. 

One netizen said the RFID lane is usually slower than others as the sensor cannot capture it.

“Many people were afraid, driving slowly because maybe they are afraid the sensor could not read it, and will be insulted by the people behind,” he said.

Netizen A.M.A.D, however, said that he had no difficulty using the RFID, having adhered it to five vehicles.

 

 

What’s important is that the vehicle has to enter slowly and that the car behind does not cut in.

For those who haven’t used the Touch ‘n Go RFID, it is a sticker that is embedded with a radiofrequency chip.

Affixed to the left headlamp of a customer’s vehicle, the tags are linked to the Touch ‘n Go eWallet. 

They are used as a form of electronic payment for tolls across the country, supposedly to provide drivers a safer and hassle-free drive. 

Moving on, PisangTanduk said that if the company wanted to get more people to use the RFID, they should have increased the number of RFID lanes. Instead he observes more smart tags and TnG lanes.

As for the driver who made such a dramatic exit, we suppose he or she also made quite a statement on the effectiveness of the RFID lane. We hope Touch’n Go is paying attention. – Focus Malaysia

Malays unconvinced the Fed Constitution can forever safeguard Bumiputera privileges

 

A SEEMINGLY pro-Madani backer has chided Perikatan Nasional (PN) supporters that they have been taken for a ride by leaders of opposition parties due to their lack of basic statehood knowledge.

In a post on the X platform, the netizen Mohamad Yusof Bin Yahya (@MohamadYusofBi6) further claimed that due to their ignorance, it is little wonder that Malays “bark almost every other day that the Muslims-Malays are under threat”.

“There’re five matters that can’t be changed in the Federal Constitution even though they’ve received 100% votes from the 222 MPs unless consented by the Conference of Rulers,” revealed Mohamad Yusof.

“They’re (i) Islam as the official religion; (ii) special privileges of Malay rulers; (iii) special Bumiputera privileges; (iv) Bahasa Melayu (BM) as the national language; and (v) Declaration of Emergency.”

But Mohamad Yusof eventually found himself under fire with a netizen wondering “how is it that there’re Malaysians who can’t speak BM” despite its status as the national language.

This was when the poster tried to deflect the fault to “the previous administration” only for some commenters to tick him off as “being double standard” or unable to address “what is the role of the government of the day to dignify the national language”.

Another commenter opined that while the five stated privileges are safeguarded by the Federal Constitution, they nevertheless “can practically be eroded bit by bit’ over time.

One commenter even suggested that the status of BM as official language “is only on paper, fantasy and dream” as there are still many citizens who look down at BM while another said even with the privileges around, “the Malays still remain backward (in many aspects)”.

As some commenters pointed out, the privileges may not be permanent in that they “can be wiped out by force (war) as had happened in many countries when a coup d’état occurs”.

Some commenters even went to the extent of correcting the poster’s flaws, notably “ISLAM is the religion of Federation as per the Federal Constitution and NOT the OFFICIAL RELIGION”, and that there has been an amendment “to also grant the PM power to declare the state of Emergency”.

Thankfully, there are a few commenters who sided Mohamad Yusof by contending that his argument “carries weight” and can be used “to counter pro-PAS followers who harp on the five issues on Facebook, TikTok or X”.

KUALA LUMPUR: 

Police are tracking down an individual impersonating deputy inspector-general of police Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay on WhatsApp.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Isa said the impersonation was discovered in a WhatsApp 

Friendship Group

 chat.

“In the chat group, police detected a message from an individual claiming to be ‘Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin’ and inviting others to join the group.

Police would like to emphasise that Ayob Khan has never managed any special chat group on WhatsApp,

 he said in a statement today.
