PETALING JAYA: The requirement to register for MyDigital ID for Malaysians travelling abroad and the potential usage of this platform for age verification for social media restriction could create a new revenue stream for Zetrix AI Bhd. “We believe this could open up a new revenue stream for Zetrix by accelerating the MyDigital ID user base towards the government’s initial 15 million target in 2025,” BIMB Research says. “At this juncture, we have yet to factor in any earnings upside from MyDigital ID, due to its early-stage rollout and limited visibility,” the research house added. While signing up for MyDigital ID is not mandatory from a regulatory standpoint, authorities are encouraging adoption by embedding the platform into high-traffic services. Officials are also exploring the use of MyDigital ID for age verification by restricting social media access for users below 16, involving platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.
