Malaysia’s digital identity registration campaign has kicked off with the enrollment of government employees, and The Edge Malaysia reports that the process is going well, with 1.6 million civil servants signed up so far.
Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil says the government plans to open registration for MyDigital ID single sign-on system for government services to the public in March. He further suggested that the early registration of civil servants will help them inform the public about the new system. The government has also requested the Information Department to assist implementing agency Mimos in explaining the importance of registration for the digital ID to the public.
