MyDigital ID denies being powered by 3rd-party tech
The platform's operator says MyDigital ID does not store personal data, nor does it replace the MyKad for identification purposes.
MyDigital ID, a digital identity platform connecting over 14 million Malaysians to more than 1,000 services, has firmly denied being powered by third-party blockchain technology. This assertion comes in response to a recent report suggesting otherwise. MyDigital ID is a company owned by the Minister of Finance Incorporated (Mof Inc) and operates under the Prime Minister’s Department, with supervision from the National Security Council and National Cyber Security Agency.
The firm emphasized that MyDigital ID has registered 83% of Malaysia’s digitally active population, maintaining that it is a secure and trusted digital identity platform. Its primary function is to strengthen and simplify online identity verification, rather than replacing the MyKad system. MyDigital ID serves as a single sign-on solution for digital services, offering enhanced security and accessibility for Malaysians in carrying out online transactions.
Crucially, the platform does not store any personal data nor does it serve as an alternative for identification purposes to the MyKad.
