THE New Structure MyKad may be used to keep track of purchases of subsidised 1kg cooking oil at the retail level, says Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh.
The Deputy Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister said the proposal was made as the new MyKad will feature QR code capabilities for verification and enforcement purposes, among other functions.
“The chip in the new MyKad must be able to identify eligible buyers.
“Continuous engagements are being carried out with the relevant authorities on the matter, including the National Registration Department, as well as traders.
“We are working on the issue,” she said in response to a supplementary question from Cha Kee Chin (PH-Rasah).
