PUTRAJAYA, Mar 1 — Malaysians can now check the status of their Rahmah Cash Aid (STR) or their applications for the cash aid at the official STR portal using the Malaysian Digital Identity (MyDigital ID).
The Malaysian Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) said this aligns with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s announcement when tabling the Budget 2025 regarding the benefits of My Digital ID as a key enabler of digital services for citizens and a cornerstone of the country’s digital transformation.
MyDigital ID is a unique digital identity for Malaysians, allowing them seamless access to government agency systems.
In line with this initiative, LHDN has integrated MyDigital ID as a single sign-on (SSO) option for its MyTax Taxation System and Rahmah Cash Donation Assistance System (MySTR).
The use of MyDigital ID as an SSO option for the MyTax system is the first facility developed by the LHDN and was implemented last January 1, enabling users to access the Tax Identification Number (TIN) search function.
According to the LHDN, 578,828 users have used MyDigital ID to access the MyTax service for the TIN search.
“This data reflects a positive trend and user acceptance of the MyDigital ID, which is a trusted, secure, and efficient platform,” the statement read.
The IRB expects 9,665,476 users of the STR portal to use this facility, with the number of users set to rise along with STR applications, open throughout the year.
They can use both the MySTR or MyDigital ID to access the STR portal, it said.
