KDN launches new integrated immigration system to replace MyIMMs

KUALA LUMPUR: The Home Ministry (KDN) today launched the National Integrated Immigration System (NIISe) project to replace the 20-year-old Malaysian Immigration System (MyIMMs).

Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin said the government had approved a specific allocation to develop NIISe so that the country's immigration system remained relevant.

He said this included aspects of the service delivery system to the people and also aspects of national sovereignty and security.

"NIISe is expected to be fully operational by 2024 and I am confident that with the implementation of this new system, the immigration service will continue to be strengthened to ensure national sovereignty and security," he said when launching the project here.

He said the existing immigration system, MyIMMs, needed to be replaced with a more sophisticated, integrated and holistic immigration system equipped with the latest technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data Analytics (BDA).
