  "account": "The Malaysian government has set January 2027 as the target date for the wider rollout of the National Integrated Immigration System, known as MyNIISe. This new immigration clearance system will replace the existing MyIMMs system, which has been operational for over two decades. Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail confirmed this during a debate on the 2027 budget in the Dewan Rakyat. \"Starting next January, we hope to roll out the system. This means travellers entering the country will undergo immigration checks using QR codes,\" he stated. However, travellers can still use their passports to enter Malaysia. The MyNIISe app will eventually integrate the Malaysian Digital Arrival Card. The Home Ministry announced in May that the system will be fully implemented by September 2026. Currently, the system is in its trial phase, with the January rollout marking the conclusion of the trial and the official launch. The Ministry is committed to addressing any technical issues related to QR code scanning before the launch. As of 13 October, approximately 1.5 million users had registered for MyNIISe, with 998,000 being Malaysians, 421,000 Singaporeans, and the remaining 112,000 comprising other foreign nationals. MyNIISe was introduced to replace the outdated MyIMMs system, which the Home Minister deemed insufficient to handle modern security challenges and the increasing number of passengers. The new system also offers integrated data systems, addressing the growing need for such capabilities.",
