Real-time data sharing to strengthen traveller screening under NIISe
PETALING JAYA: The Immigration Department will soon gain access to real-time data from agencies including Interpol, police, the Prisons Department and Inland Revenue Board (IRB) to help screen travellers entering and leaving the country.
PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian government plans to introduce real-time data sharing among agencies to enhance travel screening, according to Immigration Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. The National Integrated Immigration System (NIISe) will integrate data from Interpol, police, the Prisons Department, and the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) to improve risk profiling and enable real-time sharing of information.
These systems include the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN), police, Interpol, IRB, Prisons Department, and the Transport Ministry. The existing myIMMs system will continue to be used for immigration control and checks, while continuous improvements are being made to strengthen control at the country's entry points.
The government is also developing a broader technology-driven border security system, the National Border Control System (SKSN), which will incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics to monitor Malaysia's borders. SKSN is still in the planning and development stage.
