I guess it starts with the people's mentality in that particular country.
Like South Korea, people there prefer to pay using debit/credit cards for everything, even for a bottle of mineral water in a convenience store.
Like Hong Kong, they are lucky to have a unified card payment service like Octopus which is supported in almost everywhere, basically the company behind Octopus did everything right from the start, unlike our bloody money sucking TnG.
Also an extra mention to Japan, with their unified card payment service like Suica, basically a card that can be used almost everywhere, and can be linked to your Apple Pay or Google Pay.
With these kind of cashless societies, many people there are comfortable when paying by phone.
But we're not, cuz cash is still king for us.
You got the points, not going working for MY, as 90% still PREFERRED cash only (which kept feeding our bloody sucker corrupted ex-goverments)

TnG is a total failure.
They tried to mimick HK and SK but failed miserably.
With their closed environment business model, it is not going to leap anywhere forward.
Hope with the new government, they realize that they cannot be staying at the same technological time point forever!
Both merchant and consumers need to pay active role.
Cashless or mobile payment is a long way to go for MY.
Users want freebies and cashback, but Merchants only needed low charges and frequently fund releases.

They tried to copy WeChat pay UI so hard! No wonder it looks kind of familiar when I used WeChat pay for the first time
not copy, buy paid software license to those China developers.
So its a bit look alike. Including BOOST.
