Malaysia to limit citizens to two prepaid SIMs per provider to fight fraud, with new rules expected in 2026.
Malaysia plans to limit each citizen to two prepaid SIM cards per telecom provider, capping total registrations at 24 across 12 licensed carriers, to combat fraud and illegal activity.
The move, proposed by the MCMC and announced by Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching, follows a public inquiry running from October 14 to November 28, 2025, with new rules expected by early 2026.
The government also aims to make MyDigital ID mandatory for all prepaid registrations by year-end to improve identity verification.
Foreign nationals would face similar limits, though details remain unclear.
The changes apply only to prepaid services; postpaid family plans remain unaffected.
