  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 1 — The National Registration Department (NRD) is shifting from the current MyKad system to the new-generation MyKad, resulting in temporary interruptions to its printing operations. The NRD announced today that the printing disruption is anticipated to persist from today until Sept 7. As a consequence, the department recommends that individuals who do not require an immediate replacement or renewal of their MyKad postpone such transactions during this time frame. Furthermore, parents or guardians of first-time applicants, especially children turning 12, are advised to delay their applications until the new-generation MyKad becomes accessible. JPN expressed gratitude for the public's patience and cooperation throughout this transitional phase, apologizing for any inconvenience caused. The department urges the public to stay informed about further updates on the new-generation MyKad by following the department's official channels.",
