MyKad Overview

The Government Multipurpose Card (GMPC) project is part of the Multimedia super Corridor (MSC) initiative.This project is one of seven flagship applications that are deployed by the Malaysian Government to attract leading edge technology development to Malaysia. Currently the GMPC pilot project has been launched in the MSC-KL area and a nationwide deployment of the GMPC is expected by the year 2004/2005.

The key technologies employed to deliver the GMPC system are the chip and biometrics technology. The main challenge is to devise a new system and process redesign that not only accommodate various security aspects but also one that caters to the incorporation of multiple applications from different Government agencies private sectors in a single card. As there was no other similar system deployed in other parts of he world, the Malaysian Government has to devise and develop all the systems, procedures and methodology necessary to achieve the target of issuing a smart card based national Government Multipurpose Card.

 

GMPC is MyKad

The word "My" spelled "M", "Y" signifies Malaysia's internet address as well as "My" meaning personalownership, whilst the word "Kad" is the acronym of "Kad Akuan Diri" or translated as "Personal Identification Card" as well as "Kad Aplikasi Digital" (Digital Application Card) and also means "card".

 

MyKad: Government Multipurpose Card

GMPC is the initiative of the Malaysian Government in providing the public with added convenience on a single smart card. Unlike any other card in the world, the GMPC incorporates a host of Government and private sector applications in a single card. Moreover, the GMPC, based on the chip and the biometrics smart card technology is also able to accommodate new expansions in the future.

The GMPC, represents the first step for Malaysians to an incredible transformation in their lives - in the way they work, communicate and do business. In the future, whether using a computer terminal, ATM machine, kiosk, telephone or other data-communication devices, the GMPC, will become the common key to the information highway and other new business methods and processes that will be developed, including that of the other MSC flagship applications.

The Malaysian Government smart card employs state of the art technology that incorporates multiple layers of security features. These features include the card authentication using symmetric key cryptography, a multi applications Operating Systems with firewalls and a secure chip platform.

The GMPC will become the basis of a digital infrastructure being deployed by the Government of Malaysia. In one way or another, Malaysia's multimedia technology experiment will be a living example of the nation's capabilities to the rest of the world.

 

Vision

To provide uncompromising quality and customer service through highly secured solutions on single card to spearhead the nation into the Information Age.

 

Objectives

· To provide Government and payment applications and other future applications on a single card.

The consultant team advises the Government on Project Management, Change Management, Applications & Systems and Infrastructure and Operations.

 

The National Implementation Structure

To realise the overall MSC and GMPC project objectives, the Government has formed a well-structured organisation to manage and co-ordinate the implementation of the MSC initiatives as well as the GMPC project. A national implementation structure, which comprises several committees and bodies, is responsible to ensure that the vision of the nation is realised.
