JOHOR BAHRU, May 8 — Malaysians do not have to rush to change their MyKads when the National Registration Department (NRD) rolls out the new identification documents next month.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Malaysia has over 20 million citizens with the MyKad, adding that there is no requirement for an immediate exchange.

“So, I ask that you don’t rush to the National Registration Department on June 1 to exchange them. 

“Take your time,” he told reporters after reviewing the progress of the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link project at the Immigration, Customs, Quarantine and Security Complex at the Bukit Chagar Station here.
