NIISe akan peroleh data masa nyata dari Interpol, polis, LHDN, PTPTN

Malaysia's Immigration Department will gain access to real-time data from agencies such as Interpol, police, Prison Department and the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) through the National Integrated Immigration System (NIISe), according to Minister of Home Affairs Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. This data will be provided under the NIISe, which is currently being implemented incrementally to replace the existing MyIMMs system.

The NIISe will also be enhanced in terms of initial screening, risk assessment profiling of travelers, and integration and sharing of real-time data among various agencies. In his written parliamentary answer, Saifuddin explained that data from National Higher Education Trust Corporation (PTPTN) and Transport Ministry will also be integrated under the NIISe to assist the Immigration Department in managing the country's border checkpoints.

Looking ahead, the government plans to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics-based border control system to tackle future security challenges. This system is a government design and is still under improvement, according to Saifuddin. In September last year, it was reported that the Inland Revenue Board had blocked about 209,000 tax payers from traveling abroad due to non-payment of taxes, while PTPTN had blacklisted nearly 3,000 borrowers for failure to repay their education loans.
