What happened
Malaysian eKYC providers are updating their systems to support a new-generation MyKad. The article body was not captured in the source scrape — only the title and site navigation are available, so specific details on what changed in the new MyKad, which providers are affected, and timelines are missing.
Why it matters
If you build or operate a product in Malaysia that uses eKYC for onboarding, payments, or compliance, a new MyKad format could break OCR, liveness, and identity verification pipelines. You should check with your eKYC vendor (e.g., Innov8tif, CTOS, or similar) about their update timeline and whether your integration needs changes — but the article itself provides no specifics to act on yet.
Discussion angle
Ask the room which eKYC providers they use and whether anyone has received vendor communications about new MyKad compatibility — crowdsource the missing details the article should have contained.
