  "account": "National registration department (JPN) is facing ongoing disruptions to MyKad printing services until September 7, as the country transitions to a new-generation MyKad. JPN has advised the public to refrain from replacing or exchanging their MyKads unless they urgently require to do so during this period. Parents or guardians applying for their children's first MyKad aged 12 are also requested to wait, so they can receive the new-generation MyKad upon issuance.\n\nJPN has expressed gratitude for the public's patience and cooperation and apologized for any inconveniences caused by the disruption. Initially, the disruption was anticipated to last from August 26 to 31, following the official rollout of the new-generation MyKads in June.",
