#Apple ‘s Tap to Pay is finally in Malaysia! Would prolly need some time to see real use cases, but damn I hope this allows extending #NFC/#ApplePay payments further even to ur local stalls n bazaars etc. since you don’t need a contactless card terminal but rather, an #iPhone 11 or newer (and a supporting app), dats it.

@irfan@sakurajima.social So instead of a standardized/regulated system you can use a proprietary system which needs (expensive) proprietary hardware, and an additional proprietary app. It's so weird to see people actively cheer on a such a massive step back in society.
