Just curious, for non-Muslims, is the religion stated in the National Registration Identity Card (NRIC)? Or only applicable to the Muslims only?

Take a look at your ic.

in BSN bank form there is a column asking your religion.
why they need that info is puzzling

Profiling purposes?

it only says muslim or non-muslim on the NRIC.

marketing and promotional purpose maybe, don't wanna send you on a bak kut teh buffet or steak house raid

other bank got ask what religion?

don't think so.
ask BSN la.

These are usually for profiling purposes when doing marketing or survey.

It would make it easy to do marketing, so error can be minimised. In our sensitive country, imagine a muslim received promotional material for night club/alcohol.... and before you say why can't they check before sending out, note that most of these are automated by machine, so yeah having that one extra category makes it easier to sort and filter.

Also having this profile makes it easier to check if their marketing strategy works or not. So if they have a certain product that is marketed to muslim people, then they can check the following month is there an increase of muslim customer. Or to non-muslim, vice versa.

i dont see this is done for cimb or maybank

Yours got say non-Muslim meh?

ey but my IC got catat my religion what

why ah?

oh because I am I I

it either says Muslim or it doesnt.
so, in a way, it does say I'm not Muslim

it just says Islam or blank. End of story

usually i always put N/A

So to confirm, on the NRIC, if Muslim, it will be stated as Islam.
For non-Muslim, the column is left blank. Do i get this correctly?

Yes

I just got my MyKad scanned yesterday. The chip on your IC does state your religion. Mine is Christian and my friend's is Buddhist. Can't remember whether they use BM or English.

If below 18, the religion is follow dad or mom?

What they register when you're born

I know a Malay "Chinese" who was adopted
Nothing on ic points to melei, even got cainis name, but birthmother dropped him off according to him

For the converts, they required by law to change their NRIC? coz for Muslims, the word 'Islam' is written on the NRIC.
