CYBERJAYA: All immigration-related systems at the country’s entry points will be merged into a single system by the second quarter of the year, says Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail (pic).
The Home Minister said it is part of the transition aimed at streamlining operations at all entry points nationwide.
“We formed a team dedicated to managing the transition, with all systems to be merged by the beginning of the second quarter.
“The team meets daily, prepare checklists, identifies potential changes and streamline efforts,” he said during a luncheon talk with media practitioners yesterday.
The single system Saifuddin Nasution was referring to is the National Integrated Immigration System (MyNIISe).
He added that 635 autogates will be installed at entry points to enhance border security and curb document fraud.
On Monday, Immigration director-general Datuk Zakaria Shaaban addressed public confusion over the use of multiple apps for immigration clearance via QR code at autogates.
He explained that the initiative is being rolled out in phases to ensure smooth passenger movements at the country’s main entry points while maintaining continuity in immigration services for both Malaysians and visitors.
“MyNIISe is being developed as a single, integrated digital platform to consolidate Malaysia’s immigration transactions and services under one application.
“The platform forms part of the department’s broader transformation agenda through the National Integrated Immigration System (NIISe), which will gradually replace existing legacy systems,” he said in a statement.
Meanwhile, MyDigitalID functions as the national digital identity platform and provides a single sign-on authentication mechanism to ensure secure access to government services, including MyNIISe, he said.
