One of the quintessential aspects of Malaysian life is the ubiquity of the Touch ‘n Go card. A boon for us who routinely navigate the labyrinth of toll plazas and parking lots, this card, though a marvel, isn’t without its quirks.
The most prevalent among these is the less-than-ideal positioning of the card tapping terminals. Like a veritable game of Twister on wheels, reaching for the terminal often becomes an unintended test of agility. This rings particularly true for drivers of sportier vehicles, where lower, sleeker designs meet not-so-low terminals. Add a dose of ‘horizontal challenge’ to the equation, as is the case with me, and you have an ergonomic nightmare on your hands.
However, salvation arrived in the form of an ingenious device I recently acquired. A perfect companion for the car, this contraption brilliantly addresses the driver’s tapping woes. To me, this gadget is worthy of the ‘Invention of the Century’ accolade for its thoughtful and efficient design.
Constructed with an optimal blend of rigidity and flexibility, it’s the epitome of form meets function. The holder remains stiff, ensuring stability, while the ‘neck’ demonstrates a flexibility akin to a ballet dancer, facilitating the card to flat-tap the terminal with grace. It’s a dance between the card and terminal, perfectly orchestrated, minimizing the fuss of paying tolls or parking fees.
This device doesn’t just make my journey smoother; it adds an element of convenience that seems tailored for my particular needs. Given the overall design superiority and the vast improvement it brings to the drive, I am certainly looking forward to equipping my other cars with this superb innovation.
