Its minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the decision is to make way for the development of a new system that is comprehensive, effective and user friendly.
"We also want to develop a system that is value for money and that can save government funds," he announced at the Immigration Day celebration on Monday.
Muhyiddin said the project would be given a priority given the urgent need to improve the departments system.
On Nov 16, the minister had said that a new immigration system which is more secure, cost-effective and efficient would be developed.
