  "account": "PUTRAJAYA, Aug 25 — Printing services for MyKad across the country are anticipated to encounter temporary disruptions from Aug 26 until Aug 31 due to the transition process to the new generation MyKad, according to the National Registration Department (JPN). The agency is currently implementing the switch from the current MyKad system to the enhanced version. JPN has advised members of the public without immediate requirements to delay their plans to replace or exchange their MyKad during this period. The department has also encouraged parents or guardians of 12-year-old children applying for their first MyKad to postpone their requests, allowing their children to receive the new generation MyKad once production starts shortly. JPN expressed gratitude for the public's understanding and cooperation during the transition and apologized for any inconvenience that may occur.",
