PETALING JAYA:
Malaysians have been urged to register for MyDigital ID to ensure easy access to two main government platforms once the single login method is fully enforced.

MyDigital ID CEO Nik Hisham Nik Ibrahim said the platforms, MyJPJ and MyBayar PDRM, had been integrated with MyDigital ID, where users can still choose to log in with their existing passwords or IDs.

However, once the single login method is rolled out, users will be required to log in exclusively with MyDigital ID in order to access these services.

Nik Hisham said the existing login method would continue to be used for foreigners.

“MyDigital ID as a single login method promises a new era of digital identity verification that is simpler, safer, and more transparent.

“We are committed to ensuring that every user enjoys maximum convenience with the highest level of security, while accelerating the nation’s digital transformation in an inclusive and resilient manner,” he said in a statement.

Last month, it was reported that the government was considering introducing a law to regulate and boost the MyDigital ID system, to tackle scepticism surrounding the initiative.

Federal territories minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa said the current voluntary registration model for the digital ID system was a limitation that the government was looking to address.

MyDigital ID is a national digital identification initiative developed in 2016, aimed at providing a secure and authenticated method for verifying identities online.

The system is intended for use across both public and private sectors to verify user identities during online transactions.
