  "account": "Putrajaya: The National Registration Department (JPN) is advising the public not to rush to replace or reissue their MyKad, as disruptions may occur until September 7th. The department is in the process of transitioning from the existing MyKad structure to the new Generation MyKad. A statement today confirms that the disruption in MyKad printing services is expected to begin today and continue until September 7th. Consequently, JPN urges the public with no urgent need to replace their MyKad to postpone their applications temporarily throughout this period. For the first application of MyKad for children aged 12, parents or guardians are also encouraged to wait a bit to allow their child to receive the new Generation MyKad when production begins. Meanwhile, JPN appreciates the patience and cooperation of the public throughout this structural change of the identification card process and apologizes for any inconvenience that may arise. Further updates on the Generation MyKad can be found through JPN's official channels.",
