PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim wants the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation to present an idea on how to ramp up registration for the controversial MyDigital identification within two weeks, Communication Minister Fahmi Fadzil said today.
Earlier this week, Anwar reprimanded the ministry after it was revealed that just over a million people had registered to date.
“The PM felt this number is just too low and effort to get more to register must be doubled,” Fahmi said at the weekly post-Cabinet meeting press conference here.
“So MyDigital ID has been given a short period of two weeks from the meeting the other day and a decision will be made on how to increase the registration rate.”
