Over 46,000 attempts to apply for govt jobs with fake identities foiled

KUALA LUMPUR: The myIdentity system developed by the National Registration Department (NRD) in 2012 has helped the Public Service Commission (PSC) to verify the authenticity of information provided by individuals applying for positions in public service.

In a statement on Tuesday (April 4), the NRD said the integration of the system also enabled PSC to carry out verification checks on the applicant's citizenship status, which is a mandatory requirement, because positions in the public sector are for Malaysians only.
