The NRD issued a statement announcing the printing disruption, advising the public not to replace or renew their MyKad during this period unless urgently needed. Parents or guardians of first-time applicants, especially children turning 12, are also asked to delay their applications until the new MyKad becomes available. The Joint Registration Department (JPN) thanked the public for their patience and cooperation during this transition. The department apologized for any inconvenience caused and urged the public to stay informed about updates on the new MyKad by following JPN's official channels.",
