The Kad pengenalan Malaysia, commonly MyKad is the compulsory identity document for Malaysian citizens aged 12 and above. Introduced by the ''National Registration Department of Malaysia'' on 5 September 2001 as one of four MSC Malaysia flagship applications and a replacement for the High Quality Identity Card (''Kad Pengenalan Bermutu Tinggi''), Malaysia became the first country in the world to use an identification card that incorporates both photo identification and fingerprint biometric data on an in-built computer chip embedded in a piece of plastic. Besides the main purpose of the card as a validation tool and proof of citizenship other than the birth certificate, MyKad may also serve as a valid driver's license, an ATM card, an electronic purse, and a public key, among other applications, as part of the Malaysian Government Multipurpose Card (GMPC) initiative, if the bearer chooses to activate the functions. Other cards when are currently in use or soon to be introduced in the GMPC initiative and share similar features are: # MyKid – for Malaysian citizens under age of 12 including newborns (non-compulsory);〔 〕 # MyPR – for Malaysian Permanent Residents;〔 〕 # MyTentera – for Malaysian Armed Forces personnel;〔 〕 and # MyPolis – for Royal Malaysian Police personnel.〔 ==Etymology== The term MyKad is a compound of two words with ambiguous meanings; namely My and Kad. My can be: * the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for Malaysia; or * the English word ''my'' Kad can be: * the Malay word for ''card''; or * the acronym for Kad Akuan Diri or Personal Identification Card;〔 〕 or * the acronym for Kad Aplikasi Digital or Digital Application Card.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Malaysian identity card」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
