The government, through the National Cyber Security Agency (Nacsa), is aiming for 13 million Malaysians to register for MyDigital ID by end-2025, reports The Star.
“The amendments will allow the use of MyDigital ID in all public and private sector dealings. Financial institutions such as banks and insurance providers will also recognise it. We are moving in that direction,” home minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said yesterday, adding that amendments to the National Registration Act 1959 have been tabled in parliament to allow for this.
MyDigital ID operates on a single sign-on method and was designed to address public concerns over data breaches and identity theft, Saifuddin said.
Prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said in July that MyDigital ID would serve as a secure and trusted form of digital authentication under the Government Technology (GovTech) initiative. “The initiative will make it easier for Malaysians to access a wide range of online government services more efficiently,” he said.
Earlier this year, federal territories minister in the prime minister’s department Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa revealed that 2.8 million Malaysians had registered for MyDigital ID as of the second quarter of 2025, up from 1.8 million in the first quarter.
You’ll soon need MyDigital ID to use the MyJPJ and MyBayar PDRM apps, and it could be made compulsory for access to government platforms such as PADU, HRMIS Mobile, MyBorderPass, MyGov Malaysia and LHDN (Inland Revenue Board). Yet to register for one? Here’s how to do it.

To PMX: You aint gonna get my data, you SOB! Stop trying to hold my rakyat rights for subsidy to hostage if I refuse to give you!
in other 1st world country, they have 1 app for citizen for all, or at least most governmental services. In malaysia, we have so many apps each for specific services. And dont even get me started on all the e-parking apps
Malaysia has 30million citizen, but they expect only 13 million to register that means the majority wont follow PMX instructions and basically lost confidence in him. When majority has lost confidence, it is high time he must resign.
That is normal in any Gomen. He must go!
13 million by year end , and the remaining 17million+ before next GE. whats so difficult to understand ?
They’re really getting on my nerves. Either you keep 1 app for all or It’s ok, I know what to do in the next election.
because each ministry wants its own app. look at it this way , if you voted PN into power do you think they would really give you a single unified app ?
I think the key question is trust . Is the app audited by famous cyber security?
1mdb was audited by 3 out of the top 4 big auditors
That means there is no real problem and any such were manufactured to bring a hardworking PM down along with 60 years stable gomen. Now all we have is a circus in parliament with a gomen run by clowns.
the real clown is the guy who is championing for bijan , if he was stil in power, malaysia would be bankrupt by 2MDB and jho low would be richer than elon musk
i registed mydigital id, and i forgot the pass, and there is no way to reset the pass but to go physically at kiosk to reset.. :/
mf wants to control all its citizen. So much power to the gov results in abuse. security my ***. Msia data have been leaked many times.
