Malaysian Muslims have 'Islam' printed prominently on their MyKads while non-Muslims only have their religious information recorded on the chip.— Picture by Shafwan Zaidon, the Home Ministry once again reiterated its stance that it will not remove one's religious status on the MyKad.
But Section 6 of the law says the home minister may make regulations, including rules on how Malaysians' identity cards will appear and what the details they must display. It did not say Malaysians were required to provide details on their"religion" when applying for identity cards. The amendments were made on February 4, 2000 by then-home minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi .
The government would go on to make further amendments to the 1990 regulations, in the years 2001, 2007, 2014, 2015, and 2017. The flipside is that Malaysians may not know the reasoning for policies enforced through regulations as these do not receive the same scrutiny as legislation. The Home Ministry also said putting"Islam" on Muslims' identity cards is an important element to help enforce the Federal Constitution's Article 11 and Shariah laws. states that state laws can control or restrict the spread of any religious belief among Muslims).
She was said to have done so in August 1999 after an NRD officer told her in July 1999 that she should not mention her religious conversion as the reason for her name change request, since the identity card did not mention her religion.
Lame
So what is the problem
Religion is between you your conscience and The Almighty .No one else's business, but the powers that be cannot appreciate that, self appointed religious zealots who think they are The Almighty's representative on earth are just that .
Why NOT question 'why other religion are not printed on the card' instead of picking up Islam.. ❓
Identity card only valid within our country. Overseas they do not recognise it . Passport playing a role to identify a person.
I tell you why: 1. To avoid mistake or wrongful action against non-Muslims. 2. To regulate apostasy and entry into Islam at whims and fancy. 3. To avoid Muslims abusing non-Muslim status to escape enforcement, be responsible for their action. 4. To preserve the sanctity of Islam.
the anti everything islam/malay publication is at it again. You guys doing a good job. Keep it up
Soooo......why not? Majority peoples here are Muslims. Why argue the so called 'MALAY' mail that obviously anti of Malay and Islam.
What’s wrong with that?
so what is the problem actually?
Easy to know which procedure to do when we're dead.
why not. we muslim have no issue with it.
Professing a religion isn't permanent but over zealous minister wants Muslims to remain making it most difficult to change even one decides to go murtad. It is not a permanent identity feature. Malaysia is being hypocrite. Can't even honor agreement MA63 as instructed in Quran
Two types of taxation system in Malaysia. The 'Zakat' and 'Income Tax - Individual income tax and corporation tax'. Maybe it's for the distribution of 'Zakat' among less fortunate muslims. And to ascertain that only muslims who can afford to pay Zakat must pay Zakat.

It’s a control tool. So they can arrest people for eating during Ramadan or doing khalwat or drinking alcohol etc etc.
