Her whimsical world of Bunga dan Bintang now comes to life through the Touch \u2019n Go x Bunga dan Bintang Limited Edition LED Charms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First introduced through the Touch \u2019n Go x Bunga dan Bintang Limited Edition Cards on 17 April 2026, the collaboration now evolves from card to charm with the release of the Touch \u2019n Go x Bunga dan Bintang Limited Edition LED Charms. The latest release marks Touch \u2019n Go\u2019s first-ever design using epoxy material, bringing local artwork beyond the traditional card canvas and into a tactile, light-up payment accessory that moves with users throughout their day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The charms feature two designs, Pawsitive Only and Mew Can Do It!, each carrying Bunga dan Bintang\u2019s signature softness, playful cat characters and nature-inspired details. Crafted with epoxy material and embedded with LED lights, the charms light up with every tap, adding a small moment of delight to otherwise routine journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the heart of the collection is a story rooted in biophilia, the human love for nature. Created by Kirin Sharom, Artist &amp; Director of Bunga dan Bintang Studio, the designs draw from flora, fauna and the comfort of everyday companionship, with cats appearing as cheerful characters that bring warmth and personality to the series.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Image-5-724x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Image-5-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Image-5-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Image-5-106x150.jpg 106w, https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Image-5-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Image-5-1086x1536.jpg 1086w, https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Image-5-297x420.jpg 297w, https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Image-5-640x905.jpg 640w, https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Image-5-681x963.jpg 681w, https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Image-5.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Touch \u2019n Go x Bunga dan Bintang Limited Edition LED Charms<\/strong><br>The Touch \u2019n Go x Bunga dan Bintang Limited Edition LED Charms are available in two designs, Pawsitive Only and Mew Can Do It!, and mark Touch \u2019n Go\u2019s first-ever design using epoxy material. Embedded with LED lights, the charms light up with every tap, bringing a playful touch to everyday journeys.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Bunga dan Bintang artwork is inspired by biophilia, the human love for nature, so flora, fauna and cat characters are at the heart of the designs. I imagined these charms travelling with people every day, bringing a little happiness and motivation wherever they go. As a local artist, seeing my work become a functional Touch \u2019n Go product with a homegrown Malaysian brand is incredibly meaningful. It has always been my dream to see more local artists represented in everyday items like travel cards and charms,\u201d said Kirin Sharom, Artist &amp; Director, Bunga dan Bintang Studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Touch \u2019n Go, the collaboration reflects the brand\u2019s continued effort to champion Malaysian creativity through everyday products. As a homegrown brand, Touch \u2019n Go has worked with local artists and creative partners to turn limited-edition cards and payment accessories into canvases for local storytelling. From its earlier card release to this first-ever epoxy material LED charm, the Bunga dan Bintang collaboration brings art into moments that are familiar to millions of Malaysians, from daily commutes and weekend drives to public transport rides and quick parking stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this latest release, the introduction of epoxy material adds a new dimension to the design, enhancing its texture and visual appeal while strengthening its collectability. The result is a charm that is not only practical, but also personal, a small piece of local art made to move with its user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the charm carries a strong creative story, it remains designed for everyday use. Each Touch \u2019n Go x Bunga dan Bintang Limited Edition LED Charm functions like a Touch \u2019n Go card and can be used for toll, public transit and parking payments. It also comes with NFC technology, allowing users to reload conveniently via the Touch \u2019n Go eWallet.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Image-1-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Image-1-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Image-1-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Image-1-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Image-1-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Image-1-1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Image-1-1-420x420.jpg 420w, https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Image-1-1-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Image-1-1-681x681.jpg 681w, https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Image-1-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Bunga dan Bintang Product Design Overview<\/strong><br>The Touch \u2019n Go x Bunga dan Bintang collection brings Kirin Sharom\u2019s whimsical artwork across limited-edition cards, packaging and LED charms, transforming local illustrations into everyday payment accessories.<br><strong><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than a collectible, the charm shows how everyday payment tools can carry meaning beyond function.
