The Touch n Go NFC card, which you can reload via your phone, is in-demand, but here’s something that will be even more sought after. The Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) is releasing a limited edition Touch n Go NFC card series featuring our badminton stars.

BAM’s post on Twitter shows four designs starring the players under the association’s wings – men’s doubles pair Nur Izzuddin Rumsani & Goh Sze Fei, Ng Tze Yong, women’s doubles pair Pearly Tan & M.Thinaah, and men’s doubles world champions Aaron Chia & Soh Wooi Yik. The cards also have the signatures of the players and a BAM logo.

Want one? Here’s the catch. The cards be on sale at the ongoing Petronas Malaysia Open 2023, which is being held at the Axiata Arena in Bukit Jalil. Specifically, the Touch n Go booths, only on January 14-15, which is this weekend.

It’s a reward/souvenir for fans attending the event then, although we’re pretty sure that the cards will appear online next week as some seek to cash in. For a premium, of course.

Oh, if you’re wondering why the LE NFC cards don’t feature Lee Zii Jia or the lenglui Goh Liu Ying, they’re independent players, not under BAM.

By the way, the coachless Zii Jia crashed out of the BWF World Tour Super 1000 event in the first round, and so did Liu Ying and her longtime partner Chan Peng Soon. To make it worse for the home contingent, top women’s doubles pair Pearly Tan and M.Thinaah also ended their tournament at the first hurdle. Aaron and Wooi Yik are still in the mix, though. Come on guys, Negaraku on home soil!

    Touch and Go’s NFC card is a farce.

    Why bother launch something that is forever out of stock? Probably a ploy to get people to sign up on the app, to load money to buy the card.

    TnG is stupid to introduce those limited-edition cards that have no appeal. TnG should cooperate with big IPs like Pokémon, Pikachu, or any famous game studios. This will be more valuable than the current junk cards.

    Wow … After that some scalpers will sell the tng card rm 100 per card. And the reason is because of BAM players picture there. What the heck? I’m not commenting negative. But this is the truth.
    Tng should sell the NFC openly, not waiting for collaborate with others to make up sales.
    If tng want to improvise of tng card service itself, just sell it. Everyone is happy with the TNG.
    I think all of the customer reports, they are not read it. All they throw into rubbish bin.
