Should you leave your identification card or other ID to the security guard at the counter manning the building or area when entering their premises? The answer is NO! The minister (Malaysia) has issued an instruction to all security company not to retain anyone’s ID. Although their reason to retain the ID is for recording purposes, the Minister said, they can just copy the necessary information they require.

No one should ever be parted with their ID especially the National Identification Card or IC or MyKAD. Imagine if your IC or MyKAD falls at the wrong hand. Or, imagine if you encounter a problem while your IC or MyKAD is not with you.

It is official… DO NOT LEAVE YOUR IC BEHIND!.. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR MyKAD BEHIND!
