In Malaysia we have the MyKard. This apparently is a break through technology that was implemented to bring Malaysia to the new era of technology and to ease life for all Malaysians. Yes it looks good and it consolidates your identification,your license information(which is still not at 100%) and the touch n go!
Anyway.. Did you know that Estonia is another country that has implemented a similar solution but they have since taken their version which they call the ID Card and ran with it.
Pretty much looks and feels the same as the MyKard isnt it? Well, yes thats about the only similarity between the MyKard and Estonia’s ID Card. As usual we come up with very good ideas fast and gets implemented fast but what happens after that? We very seldom evaluate how this can be further improved. Its like our transportation system, when there is a need to improve the system we get a refresh of the buses used! That’s improving the transportation system apparently but have you seen the condition of the apparent refreshed buses after a year? Have you heard of improved networks? I haven’t at least!
Anyway…To give you a idea of what Estonia have done, watch the video below!
Congrats to Estonia and we should learn a thing or two from them!
