The multi-purpose MyKad will be the version of our perpetually metamorphosing IC in the near future. With an embedded smart chip, it can also be used as a passport, store our medical history, driver's license, act as an ATM card, serve as an electronic purse and even be used at the National Library...what ever you do with the card...you will be tracked!
It may also be a tracking device via GPRS (Good or Bad, depending the situation). However, a recent debate has brought to light the questionable control on access, potential information abuse and privacy infringement.
As the debate rages on, I can foresee a likely scenario when ordering pizzas in the near future...
