NexG bags four contracts from the Home Ministry

PETALING JAYA: NexG Bhd, formerly known as Datasonic Group Bhd, has secured four contract extensions from the Home Ministry, two of which carry a combined value of RM45.54mil, while the remaining two are time-only extensions with no additional contract value.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the group said its wholly-owned subsidiary Datasonic Technologies Sdn Bhd accepted the letters of extension (LOE) dated July 2, involving continued supply and maintenance services for the National Registration Department (JPN) and the Immigration Department.

A six-month extension until May 31, 2026, was awarded for the supply of MyKad, MyTentera and MyPOCA raw cards and consumables to JPN, with a third ceiling contract value of RM29.68mil.

This brings the total contract value, first awarded in January 2024, to RM146.03mil.

Another extension worth RM15.86 million covers 14 months of comprehensive maintenance services for card personalisation centres at JPN, running from Dec 1, 2025 to Jan 31, 2027.

The contract, first awarded in 2021, now totals RM110.01mil.

The remaining two LOEs involve the supply of Malaysian passport documents and polycarbonate biodata pages to the Immigration Department.

Both are time-based extensions — from Dec 1, 2025 to May 31, 2026 — with no change in contract ceiling.

These two contracts, awarded in 2016 and 2018 respectively, have since grown to a combined value of RM801.8mil through multiple extensions.
