KUALA LUMPUR: NexG Bhd, via its wholly-owned subsidiary, Datasonic Technologies Sdn Bhd, has accepted a contract from the Ministry of Home Affairs for the supply of national identity cards for the National Registration Department.
The contract, valued at RM732.72mil, will run for a period of six years from June 1, 2026, to May 31, 2032.
Malaysia's national identity cards include the MyKad as well as MyTentera for military personnel and MyPOCA for registered ex-convicts.
NexG, through its subsidiary, has been the provider of MyKad solutions since 1999.
According to the company's statement, the government will introduce a next-generation upgraded MyKad under the latest contract, representing a significant step forward in strengthening identity security and accelerating Malaysia’s digital transformation.
The latest award comes on the heels of the RM1.73bil Malaysian international passport supply contract secured on Aug 29, 2025.
Together, the contracts provide the company with long-term earnings visibility and stability for at least the next six years, said executive chairman and group CEO Datuk Abu Hanifah Noordin in a statement.
He added that these contracts provide the foundation to bring homegrown Malaysian innovation of global standards to the world.
"We are ready to expand into Asean and Africa, offering secure identity and digital trust solutions that showcase Malaysia’s capability to lead in mission-critical national infrastructure,” he said.
