So wise to know how to hack a card that unlikely will be discovered if he had just used himself.
So stupid to sell it and made just 7.5k

Can ask this chap to revamp our EZ-Link, cashcard system?

HongKong has Octopus card that is used so widely. China has Alipay, WeChat pay and so many others.

Sinkiestan’s SimplyGo is a SimplySohai invention.

<<His offences came to light when a Kopitiam staff member at the Lau Pa Sat outlet noticed suspicious transactions made by another customer. >>

What kind of lazy journalism is that? What do ‘suspicious transactions’ mean?

Are the ones who made the Kopitiam (TM) cards related to the ones who created the SimplyGo project?
