National ID system (Malaysia)
Malaysia’s National ID system, known as the MyKad, is a government-issued identification card that contains personal details such as name, photo, and fingerprint data. It serves multiple functions, including identification, driving license, and healthcare access. The system helps streamline government services, improve security, and reduce fraud by providing a reliable, unified identity for Malaysian citizens and residents. The MyKad is mandatory for citizens over 12 and is used in many official transactions, ensuring efficient identification and access to various public and private sector services.
