PUTRAJAYA: Singapore has shot down Malaysia’s proposal to use MyKad as an entry document for frequent travellers, saying it may not have sufficient security features desired by the republic. 

Home Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Radzi Sheikh Ahmad said Singapore rejected the proposal because it feared that any flaws in the MyKad could have an impact on the island’s security.
