Old MyKad remains valid as new version launches Sept 17 - KDN
Malaysians need not rush to replace their MyKad when applications for the new version open on Sept 17, as existing cards remain valid and linked records are retained. Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the new card, with about 50 new security features, will be rolled out in phases starting at 40 NRD offices nationwide to avoid congestion. About 24 million MyKad have been issued to Malaysians aged 12 and above.
