The National Registration Department (NRD) of Malaysia has refuted viral claims regarding applications for MyKad (national identity cards) by foreigners. The NRD clarified that not all individuals present at its counters are seeking MyKad. Many are actually there to register the births of their children, a standard procedure. This clarification addresses recent misinformation circulating regarding the purpose of visits by foreign nationals to the NRD. The department emphasized the distinction between birth registration and MyKad applications to correct public understanding. The NRD’s statement aims to dispel concerns and ensure accurate information is disseminated regarding its services. Officials urge the public to rely on official sources for factual updates.
