Immigration to get real-time data access under NIISe

The Immigration Department in Malaysia will gain real-time data access to multiple government agencies under the National Integrated Immigration System (NIISe), according to Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. This upgrade aims to replace the existing Malaysian Immigration System (myIMMs) and enhance early screening, traveller risk profiling, and data integration.

The system will also integrate with various agencies, including the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN), the police, Interpol, Inland Revenue Board (IRB), Prisons Department, and Transport Ministry. Currently, myIMMs supports immigration control and checks at entry points, such as verifying travellers' documents against Interpol databases.

The government is also developing the National Border Control System (SKSN), a long-term plan to strengthen border security with advanced AI and data analytics for unmanned operations and continuous surveillance of Malaysia's land and maritime borders.
