PUTRAJAYA: Security guards do not have the authority or right to request, hold or scan Malaysian identity cards (MyKad), says the National Registration Department (NRD).
In a statement, the NRD said only five categories of officers have such authority under Regulation 7(1) of the National Registration Regulations 1990, namely NRD officers, police officers, Customs officers, military personnel on duty as well as civil servants authorised by the National Registration director-general.
