Members of the public have expressed positive feedback regarding the issuance of the new-generation MyKad, highlighting the enhanced security features and sturdier design.

Nineteen-year-old student Puteri Nur Syafiqah Jailani expressed excitement upon receiving her new MyKad and praised the quick and easy replacement process at the NRD. Shaza Nuizeaan Shafie, a mother of two, also commended the new card's appeal and its security enhancements, noting the convenience of making an appointment to expedite the process.
Khairul Anuar Azizan, a 47-year-old individual, expressed appreciation for the efficient handling of the new MyKad by the NRD staff and the card's added security features. Private-sector employee Foo Yew Jin noted the increased sturdiness of the new MyKad, suggesting potential future improvements and additional functions. Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail had previously advised the public to refrain from rushing to replace their MyKad, stating that the replacement process would occur in phases, with existing cards remaining valid for daily transactions.
