Unveiling The National Digital ID

The National Digital ID has been launched, and is intended to complement our MyKad by enhancing the security and efficiency of digital government services and online transactions. There has, however, also been a fair amount of concern expressed from members of the public around personal data leaks. We speak to cybersecurity consultant CF Fong to understand the benefits of this initiative, the concerns, and what effective implementation should include.
