NRD issues 169,346 new generation MyKads nationwide in three weeks

Between September 17 and October 6, the National Registration Department (NRD) issued 169,346 New Generation MyKads nationwide, with the highest issuance in the Federal Territories, Johor, Sarawak, Sabah, and Selangor.

NRD Director-General Datuk Badrul Hisham Alias highlighted the enhanced security features of the new MyKads, which have significantly curbed identity forgery.

The NRD has expanded card production centers to accommodate increased demand.

The Mekar Komuniti program in Terengganu, which facilitates MyKad access for marginalized groups, underscores the NRD's broader commitment to efficient and compassionate service.

KUALA TERENGGANU, Oct 8 — The National Registration Department (NRD) has issued a total of 169,346 New Generation MyKads nationwide between September 17 and October 6.

NRD Director-General Datuk Badrul Hisham Alias said the five states recording the highest issuance are the Federal Territories with 20,592 pieces; Johor (18,871); Sarawak (15,777); Sabah (13,711) and Selangor (13,452).

He said that so far, the response received from the public has been very encouraging due to the upgrade from 23 to 53 high-tech security features capable of curbing identity forgery issues.

“To accommodate the increase in applications for the New Generation MyKad, the NRD has increased card production centres from 60 to 70 nationwide. Only one is not yet operational, which is in the Langkawi district. However, it is in its final preparation stage and is expected to operate soon.

“Based on NRD records for the month of September, male applicants recorded a higher application percentage at 57 percent compared to females. However, we would like to advise the public not to rush to change their old MyKads to the new generation if the chip is still in good condition,” he said after the Mekar Komuniti programme at Taman Sinar Harapan, here today.

Also present was Terengganu NRD Director Awatif Hannan Md Yusup.

Badrul Hisham said 25 Mekar programmes have been implemented in Terengganu this year to facilitate the public, including persons with disabilities (OKU), Orang Asli, chronic patients, mental patients, and senior citizens in obtaining their MyKads.

He said these figures are not just achievement statistics, but rather depict the lives of the people touched through NRD services.

“In addition, the Terengganu NRD has also provided 1,314 advisory service sessions to the community this year. Behind a single piece of MyKad, there is a name, a life, an identity, dignity, and a human being.

“The NRD’s task is not just to manage identity cards, but to safeguard the people’s identity and the nation’s trust. We want an NRD that is not only efficient in its systems, but has heart in its services,” he said. — Bernama

瓜拉登嘉楼，10 月 8 日讯——国民登记局 (NRD) 在 9 月 17 日至 10 月 6 日期间，在全国范围内共发放了 169,346 张新一代身份证。

“根据国民登记局9月份的记录，男性申请人的申请比例为57%，高于女性。但是，我们建议公众，如果芯片状况良好，不必急于将旧的身份证更换为新一代身份证，”他今天在Taman Sinar Harapan举行的Mekar Komuniti活动后表示。

此外，登嘉楼国民登记局今年还为社区提供了 1314 次咨询服务。每一张身份证背后都承载着一个名字、一段人生、一份身份、一份尊严，以及一个人的生命。

“国民登记局的职责不仅是管理身份证，更是维护人民的身份安全和国家信誉。我们希望国民登记局不仅系统高效，而且服务真诚。”他说道。——马新社
