Astro MyKad reader

Some useful information, save you all the trouble to go to NRD to verify the info in MyKad.

Read MyKad With Astro At Home

Just found out our Astro could read MyKad. We don't need to buy the card reader or go to the National registration office to read our MyKads. What we need is our Astro set. Follow the steps & should be able to read:

1) Turn on your Astro and TV
2) Turn to Channel 800 (ITV) & wait for it to download and display a menu
3) Go to the MyKad & Credit Card Reader menu by scrolling down
4) After the processing, the set would prompt you to insert your MyKad to the 2nd Astro Slot. Just insert in with the chip facing you or facing up.
5) You would see your details on your TV screen shortly.

You can also read your credit card details. I think most of us are keen to know what the Registration Dept has keyed in our personal details.... Go & try it works.
