In a report tabled in the Dewan Rakyat on Tuesday, PAC chairman Datuk Seri Hasan Arifin said the Malaysian Immigration System (MyIMMs) was supplied and paid for but was not in use at border checkpoints. The PAC found that instead of the MyIMMs, a different system – the National Enforcement and Registration Biometric System (NERS) – was adopted following approval by the ministry on Feb 8, 2011. The PAC said the Immigration Department subsequently had to standardise the biometric system at detention depots as both MyIMMs and NERS used different technology and were not compatible. MyIMMs uses Sagem technology while NERS uses Dermalog technology. Those readers with Sagem technology were transferred to passport departments since they were already using the system,” the PAC explained.
