NIISe to have real-time data from Interpol, police, LHDN, PTPTN

In September, the immigration department announced plans to integrate real-time data from multiple agencies, including Interpol, police, prisons, and the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN), into the National Integrated Immigration System (NIISe). Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail explained that this integration would enhance preliminary screenings, traveller risk assessment, and data sharing among various agencies.

Under NIISe, the immigration department aims to improve its screening procedures, allowing for swift and continuous surveillance of incoming and outgoing travellers. Saifuddin added that the government also plans to develop a national border control system based on artificial intelligence and data analytics to address future security challenges. This system is expected to enable unmonitored operations, real-time information sharing, and round-the-clock protection of the nation's borders.

Additionally, the NIISe system will consolidate data from other sources such as the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) and the transport ministry, further strengthening the immigration department's ability to enforce regulations. Although the minister stated that the ministry is still refining the system's details, the integration of real-time data from various agencies is a significant step towards enhancing national security and immigration control measures.
