How is religion recorded on Malaysian ICs?

Question

## Religion is Recorded on Malaysian Identity Cards According to National Registration Rules

Accepted Answer

The Malaysian government will not remove religious status from MyKads, with the Home Ministry stating there are no plans to study such a proposal. The inclusion of religion on identity cards is governed by the National Registration Department in accordance with the National Registration Rules and Regulations 1990 (PPPN 1990). Specifically, the religion of Islam is displayed on the front of the IC, while other religions are recorded within the IC's chip, as stipulated by the PPPN 1990.
