The Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN) and Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) have both announced the integration of MyDigital ID on their respective platforms. This follows the digital minister Gobind Singh’s announcement yesterday that all government platforms will eventually use the single sign-on feature.
LHDN, on its part, revealed that it will start using MyDigital ID on its MyTax portal from 1 January 2025 onwards. However, this will likely only be an additional sign-in option for the platform, as the announcement stated that full integration of the digital identification system will only be implemented on 1 January 2027.
Separately, TNB announced in a statement that it will integrate MyDigital ID as an additional sign-in option starting early 2025. The energy firm said that it will invite its subscribers to try the new login method in the initial rollout phase. Unlike LHDN, TNB did not outline a plan to make the use of MyDigital ID mandatory.
Last month, the MyJPJ app rolled out an update notifying users that it will soon be requiring the use of MyDigital ID for logging in. This decision was soon postponed after public backlash. However, during the tabling of Budget 2025, prime minister Anwar Ibrahim announced that MyDigital ID would serve as a centralised hub for all government agencies.
