GUA MUSANG, Oct 13 — The National Registration Department (JPN) has assured the public that strict controls are in place to prevent MyKad from being issued to unauthorised individuals.
JPN director-general Datuk Badrul Hisham Alias said the department had not encountered any case of its staff deliberately issuing valid identity cards to unauthorised parties since MyKad was introduced more than 25 years ago.
He said the MyKad issuance process was subject to stringent security checks and quality controls to ensure that damaged identity cards were not issued to applicants.
“Cards damaged during production are also audited according to their serial numbers to ensure that every unit can be identified and is not replaced arbitrarily,” he told Bernama.
