Malaysian Government Will Not Acquire Passport Supplier Company
The Malaysian government has officially decided not to proceed with the acquisition plan for Datasonic Technologies. The company is the primary supplier for Malaysian passports and national identification documents.
The previously proposed acquisition value was RM7.5 billion. This decision was made to ensure that the management of the country's essential documents remains in accordance with existing plans without involving a change in the supplier company's ownership.
Datasonic Technologies has long been a government partner in providing security technology for Malaysian passports. With this decision, the company will continue to carry out its duties as usual in supplying travel documents to the public.
This move demonstrates the government's stance in managing public service contracts more carefully. The government will continue to monitor the quality of the supplier's services to ensure that the public receives efficient and secure passport facilities.
Overall, this decision will not affect the application or renewal process for passports for the public. Malaysians can continue to use services at immigration offices as usual without any disruption.
