Moving House in Malaysia 2026: The Address and Utilities Checklist, From the RM10 MyKad to the RM300 Fibre Move
Moving house in Malaysia means changing your address in at least eight places, and none of them talk to each other. Your MyKad costs RM10 to update, your voting address needs a separate application, TNB wants a deposit of RM170 to RM1,600, and Indah Water will keep billing the old name until someone tells it. Here is the checklist, with each fee and form from the official pages.
MyDigital ID Registration 2026: The Free Login MyJPJ Now Demands, and What to Do With a New MyKad
MyDigital ID is free, lives only on your phone and has been the sole login for MyJPJ since 1 May 2026 and for MyNIISe since January. Here is how to register online or at one of nearly 700 kiosks, why the certificate lapses after a year, what happens if you forget the password, and the workaround for new-design MyKad holders.
Flying to Sabah or Sarawak From the Peninsula in 2026: The Free Entry Slip, the 3-Month Limit, and When You Need a Permit
Malaysians from the Peninsula still clear immigration when they land in Kota Kinabalu or Kuching. For a holiday that means a free slip and a stay of up to three months; for anything longer, a RM5 travel document; and for a job, a work pass your employer has to arrange. Here is what applies to you, from the Immigration Department's own pages.
The New MyKad Is Here: Issued Since 17 September, Same Day at 40 JPN and UTC Offices, RM10 to Switch, No Touch 'n Go — and Losing Yours Twice Still Costs RM310
Updated 1 October 2026: the new-generation MyKad is finally in people's hands. JPN unveiled what it calls the seventh-generation identity card on 16 September and has issued it in stages since 17 September — on the same day at 40 JPN and UTC offices with their own printing centres, and in about five working days at every other branch. Nobody is being forced to switch: JPN's own FAQ says existing holders need not change just because a new card exists, and advises a change only for KPP, KPT and MyKad without a ghost image. If you do switch, it costs RM10. The new card carries 53 security features against the old card's 23, and it drops one feature Malaysians have used for two decades: it is not a Touch 'n Go card. Lost-card fees on JPN's own pages are unchanged at RM110, RM310 and RM1,010. Below: the 40 same-day offices state by state, who should go and who should not bother, the online replacement portal that now needs MyDigital ID, and how the June-to-August stretch when nobody had the card actually played out.
