  "account": "The national registration department (JPN) is warning Malaysians that MyKad printing disruptions will persist until September 7. This period of service interruption is due to the transition to the new-generation MyKad system. JPN has advised members of the public who do not require urgent replacement or exchange of their MyKads to delay such actions during this time. Parents or guardians applying for a first MyKad for children aged 12 are also urged to wait until the new-generation MyKad is issued. The JPN has expressed gratitude for the public's patience and cooperation throughout this transition process and apologized for any inconvenience caused. The disruption initially expected to last from August 26 to 31 has been extended due to the implementation of the new MyKad generation, which was officially launched in June.",
