All Malaysians are Federal citizens with no formal
citizenships within the individual states. Every citizen is issued with
an biometric
identity card,
known as
MyKad,
at the age of 12, and must carry the card with them. A citizen is
required to present his/her identity card to the police, or in the case
of an emergency, to any military personnel, to be identified. If the
card cannot be produced immediately, the person technically has 24 hours
under the law to produce it at the nearest police station.
