TNG Digital has reached an important milestone in its journey from a payment-focused e-wallet into a broader digital financial services platform. The company, best known as the operator of TNG eWallet, recorded its first full-year profit since the e-wallet was launched in March 2018. For a platform that started mainly around payments, toll convenience, and cashless transactions, this marks a significant shift in how the business is now generating value.

More than three years after acquiring Twitter and transforming it into X, Elon Musk appears to be moving closer to his long-standing ambition of turning the platform into a full-fledged "everything app".

Malaysia's shift towards a cashless society is clearly gaining pace.

Money has always been personal, but digital banking makes that relationship even more sensitive.

It's a moment of doubt about whether the system on the other side can be trusted with their finances.
