PETALING JAYA: Services such as wedding registrations, death certificates and passport renewals will soon require applicants to have a MyDigital ID, says Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo (pic).

He said that although MyDigital ID registration is not yet mandatory, the digital credential will be integrated across major public and private sectors, including financial services, healthcare and telecommunications beginning 2026.

“As of Dec 8, MyDigital ID has recorded about 6.36 million registered users, with an average of 50,000 new sign-ups daily.

“To boost adoption, we are ­integrating MyDigital ID into essential, high-traffic services. It is not just a convenience feature but a key enabler of our GovTech aspirations.

“While it is not compulsory, we want to build a system that is convenient, secure and essential so that Malaysians are naturally incentivised to adopt it,” Gobind said when contacted.

From next year, MyDigital ID will be required for various services, including police summonses, Road Transport Depart­ment (JPJ) services, government payments, local council compounds, public housing services, travel and tourism facilities and government financial aid.

“Our target is widespread adoption, and we aim to accelerate this through 2025 and 2026 because MyDigital ID will be the universal key for the new GovTech single gateway platform, the MyGOV Malaysia mobile app, especially under the 13th Malaysia Plan.

“The national goal is for 95% of all federal government services to be fully online by 2030. This cannot be achieved if citizens rely on multiple logins or physical verification. MyDigital ID will be the standard secure credential for services from JPJ, Inland Revenue Board, Health Ministry and all other agencies,” he said.

Gobind acknowledged the work ahead, noting that the telecommunications sector is already integrating MyDigital ID to curb scam calls and SIM misuse.

On Sept 13, all telcos were instructed to embed MyDigital ID into prepaid SIM registrations, with enforcement set by the end of 2025.

“MyDigital ID will also be required for secure logins to major government apps like MyJPJ and MyBayar PDRM, and will be ­integrated into the MyGOV Malaysia app. This is where the rakyat will truly experience the benefits.

“MyDigital ID is designed as the single key that unlocks our digital economy, replacing inefficient, paper-based and multiple-login processes,” he said.

Gobind also highlighted the system’s single sign-on capability as its biggest convenience.

“Malaysians will no longer need dozens of usernames and passwords. One secure digital identity will provide access to services across finance, healthcare and public administration through the MyGOV Malaysia single window.

“This means faster and more efficient transactions, whether verifying your identity for a bank account or a government subsidy, without long queues or repeated document submissions.

“It will simplify everything, from applying for licences and permits to accessing social security benefits,” he added.

He also stressed that MyDigital ID offers strong security protections, significantly reducing identity theft and online fraud.

“At the end of the day, what we want is more efficient, transparent and responsive government services. This is central to the National Digital Economy Blueprint.

“MyDigital ID does not store personal data in a central database or track user activity.

“It is purely a verification and authentication platform. It only verifies your identity by cryptographically linking your digital ID to existing records in a secure one-time process.

“We do not store biometric data used during enrolment. Your data belongs to you, always,” he said.

Gobind added that a robust security framework is essential for building national digital trust.

“This is the foundation for Malaysia to thrive as a digital nation and lead the region in the digital economy. Strong governance ensures responsible innovation and data integrity across public and private sectors,” he said.

MyDigital ID was first announced in November 2023 by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as a national digital ­identification system for secure online transactions and government services.

It's easier using myid to login govt apps rather than having to remember so many username/password for each and every app

Daddy government please save me because I don't know how to use password manager.


So if no MyDigitalID, don't need to register death?

I already using it. No issue so far. It's mostly for gov services.

One problem about this MyDigitalID, you have to install those government apps and mydigitalID on the same phone. So if you lost that phone, good luck to all your government credentials. hohoho.

no mydigital u better dont die

Most Malaysian personal data already floating in cyberspace from numerous leaks, I don't see what's wrong with one more additional app, on top of the hundreds of other apps already in phone.

can i use for voting?

I don't post my face or fingerprints online.

MyDigital ID app is on my banking phone with different number.

Usually apps that required it will need to scan the generated QR code. Take the other phone and scan. Done deal.

Yalor... our data already on the 'market'. Sold to the highest bidder long time ago.

Cannot die without app? Die liau how to use app?

Regarding you, no need to mention liao since covid time already afraid of everything haih

lol, u already giving them ideas.

The PDRM Saman, no digital cert, you can't pay saman unless you go to balai. Just because of digital cert, I downloaded it. If they asked for face of fingerprint, you think you wont give?

Gomen got ways to "persuade" you to give up your data okay... Even pee also they will take.

No only cyberspace, but when you buy condo, the namelist already sold to real estate agent. When you get key, immediately they start calling and asking if you want to sell or get a tenant.

Makes you wonder what the personal data protection commission is doing.

so DitigalID is audited daily/monthly/annually by a non-Malaysian third party to be

"“MyDigital ID does not store personal data in a central database or track user activity.

“It is purely a verification and authentication platform. It only verifies your identity by cryptographically linking your digital ID to existing records in a secure one-time process."

or trust me bro ,saja ?

This would be a nightmare scenario once a person lose access to their phone.

Must have some method and process to address this issue like having a kill switch that could be activated once phone is lost.

they will tie myDigitalID to banking app

mcm India (but u-turn already due to protests)

u might say, use website to access lor but now, mcm digicelcom, website shutting down d, must use phone.

meaning one day, gomen see you have RM1 didnt pay for say, sewerage services, then u kenot access banking app until u settle

or see u have sued xyz, then kenot access

or see u write xyz, then kenot access

or see u donate to xyz, then kenot access

or see u buy VPN, then kenot access



remember, if even 100% of the block is due to 'mistake', u already suffer

remedy due to 'mistake' might take a year due to no SOP on remedy.

Makes no sense to me why paying saman need Digital ID. Who cares if someone else pay my saman for me?

You don't fingerprint or pin lock your phone??

imo it is quite convenient no need remember many password.
But how secure is mydigital id is, that is another question.

I forgot my ptptn password i cant login and account is locked it ask me to contact ptptn.
But using mydigital id i still can login lol

same reason why the Soviet's made their infamous Soviet citizen's profile

one day (maybe 10 years from now or something), the gomen of the day might not like what u did.

then make some adjustments, or some vague inference based on your saman,

then u know why this idea is not a good idea to implement

you must realize that all the tales of Kafkaesque nightmares is based on reality

That time i mau bayar PDRM saman, force to register MydigitalID, i think soon cannot run liao, almost all government department require MydigitalID for linkage or login

The SSO concept is good but I don't trust our government to get it right

If something is wrong, where should we go to sort it out?

And right now it requires a smartphone, there should be another method

Still can go counter , upon arrival they ask you take out your mobile and register my digital

If co, not individu ?

Not working for MyJPJ though. Need to be on same phone.

some old boomer dont know one, prefer cheque technology era, paper work, button phone, simple time

Problem for voting using a form of digitalID is this, you have to consider how many ways people can play foul with it.

When you vote using digitalID, the vote is being stored electronically. But how are the vote observers going to know whether the vote decision is being stored as the choice you as a voter, intends it to? Electronic data is invisible to the voters, and maybe somewhere along the line your vote is being ignored and being replaced by something else.

Compared to the current physical vote booth, the vote observers can clearly see that the paper passed to you initially has no vote, then you write something on it, and drop it to a vote box. They can observe if anyone trying to change the vote in the box. And until the vote box opens, the vote on paper is shown clearly to all vote observers. It is not possible to hack reality by magically changing the vote.

Not so if the vote is being stored electronically.

Sure it is quite simple to just create a simple voting system for you to vote electonically, but what if that "simple system" has some hidden codes somewhere that will automatically favor certain party by changing some of the votes? Can that be detected by the vote observers easily? That's the tough part.

Also, even if everything about the voting system is done in a fair manner without any tampering. What if the losing side suddenly claims that the voting system has been tampered with and the vote results are void, how can anyone proves convincingly that it did not happen? Electronic data cannot be observed and people can claim anything has happened to it. At the end it can boil down to you say vs they said. Happened to USA elections quite a number of times recently.

USA already wants you to provide face and fingerprints if you want to enter USA. Soon many nations might just follow, and before you know it, the private info of face and fingerprints of everyone will be sitting in government servers somewhere as a standard legal requirements.

Damn sial. Every 5 years tukar app this n that

Is caghi.com a government server?

And the price of smartphones will go up thanks to AI companies buying all the RAM and storage.

kecian mati pun kena login juga

In GOAT Minister Gobind Singh we trust 😇

Luckily already registered myDigital ID.

Apa lj

so u better not die if dont hav mydigital id?

mydigital id is shit.
bcoz it'a something that u don't really need to use much, so the app most of the time sitting idle.
then by the time u really need to use it, login already expiry, & bcoz u so rarely use it, u dont remember & proceed to reset.
then rinse & repeat again next time.

"death certificates" also need digitalid to get.. This NWO thing definitely leave no one behind.

exactly

people don't see to see the wide implication or effect of this implementation
coupled with the future linking to social media
it will be so incredibly easy to silence anyone on the internet

a person entire civilisation access can be turned off with a press of a button

a good example is when recently GX bank mistakenly flagged an account as fraudulent, causing BNM to freeze all the bank accounts that the person have
can you imagine how crippling that is in this modern world?

all the government have to do is just to declare a person as a national threat, and that person can be suspended from the internet

you post about FAM dubious player nationality? suspended
you upload video of police escort blocking an ambulance? suspended
you write about sabah corruption case? suspended
gov claim you try do convert muslim to other religion? suspended
why? cos fck you that's why

there is really no recourse or framework to fight the suspension
cases can dragged on for years
good luck suing the gov

Company kena register new one with SSM ROC number

Registered MySejahtera also for organ donations.

When you die, how to know whether you are really human? Maybe you are a Replicant? Owai.

maybe need approval of the relevant deities to enter their realms to confirm the receipt of such souls.

later when u die, gomen see u owe them $$ or under some watch list

then dun release Death Cert

then mcm mana claim EPF as next of kin?

Exactly

Personal Data Protection - it's a joke. Maybe it's there to protect us the data owner from protecting our data from marketeers, sales, scammer, etc.

another odd thing is.. it's 12 months validity.. so what happens after the 12th month renewal?.. same id?.. if same.. why renewal?

Renew the digital certificate, not ID.

No forcing

"From next year, MyDigital ID will be required for various services, including police summonses, Road Transport Depart­ment (JPJ) services, government payments, local council compounds, public housing services, travel and tourism facilities and government financial aid."

A wall of text that amounts to nothing much and confusing.

Is he trying to say all govment services will be going virtual without physical counters?

No long queues because there's no physical buildings and civil servants? Only AI attending to us online?

Afaik, a lot of processes already simplified la... walk into JPJ, can renew driving license without filing any forms, road tax can be bought together with insurance at insurance agent and printed on the spot without filling any forms, can walk into an immigration branch office to renew passport without filling any forms... just hand over the mykad.

Town councils already got payment machines at their lobbies and open after office hours and weekends. So not really necessary to pay online if one does not like to do things online.

So... don't try to force everything online as if there's only one world in the future, the virtual world.

Why gov want to collect so much data?

After observing all the comments above, i finally agree with TS that old boomers really doesn't follow up on tech

vote dap out

More so it is registering another person's death... definitely not your own death. Hahaha 😂

More secure if you must be there in person in the registering branch office with all the necessary documents to register that person's death and getting the death certificate on the spot.

Kalau orang sudah berada di kaunter, just show the mykad la. Apalj mau pakai mydigital id lagi.

If you lost mykad, the finder cannot use it as his thumbprint must tally with the thumbprint inside the mykad.

If you lost mydigital, and if death registration has gone fully digital... just imagine what the hacker can do... register your parents' deaths and wipe out their bank accounts, epf accounts, fraudulently transfer all their properties to you... but really NOT you but the hacker, as he has taken over your id.

The person who apply for death cert can be different than the nominee/next of kin/executor/administrator la. The estate (bank account, properties, epf etc) is transfer to the respective nominee/next of kin/executor/administrator, not to the applicant of death cert la.

The New World Order under Corporations owned by Yahudi have spoken.

Next, is the Mark of the Beast after the Antichrist is revealed. But not so soon (just yet). But very soon.....

MyDigital ID is not user inituative yet....

The WEF already forsees many will have no jobs, so they have prepared drugs and video games and the "Metaverse" for the millions and millions of useless eaters that will have to be put on UBI and likely depopulated in the coming years.

Once AI takes over most things and governments all surrender and close up shop (Globalism is the NWO). They have been "warning" repeatedly. People just ignore, becos too lazy to change their minds and their belief systems.

And I understand it's scary to everyone, but being scared and ignoring this is NOT going to do anything to affect the outcome. At least, people should confront it directly.

So how? Declare jihad against all thinking machines?

Think of it this way, if u don't kill them, they will kill you.

I see 99% of humans get worked up on things that are not really important. Like for example, Palestine or some racial thing. So they go for mass demo for all this things. But for things like the Covid mass clotshot rollout, was there any demo? Zero.

Sohai app.. I was forced to install it because I wanted to pay the police summons at discounted rates

Downloaded the app on both my phones. Tried to register but failed when during the face selfie time

Gave up and went to police station to pay instead.. Stupid and lousy app

Need Mentats' help.

All they need to do is push you a bit. Most humans will fold. For Covid jab, it wasn't mandatory either. This digital ID is not mandatory too.

But they know how to "coerce" you.

Then later, people will say they were "forced". Cry mader fader no use.
