The modern identity card, known as MyKad, was introduced by the National Registration Department of Malaysia in 2001. Besides the main purpose of the card as a validation tool and proof of citizenship other than the birth certificate, MyKad may also serve as a valid driver’s license, an ATM card, an electronic purse, and a public key, among other applications, as part of the Malaysian Government Multipurpose Card (GMPC) initiative, if the bearer chooses to activate the functions. For Muslim citizens, “Islam” is calligraphed on ID Card, to help the implementation of Shariah law which is relevant to Muslims.
