strictly speaking, only the police can legally ask to see your IC
All those other places should be satisfied with a driving license or 
company photocard. I personally use an expired driving license :)

tell me about it...the number of steps needed to change anything in 
your domain is crazy

go to mynic web site, login, make changes and wait for ...
an email, print out the email, sign and stamp and FAX it back, then 
wait.....

ok, I would tolerate this for changing an administrative contact for 
example
but just to change the IP of your DNS servers ?....all this makes it 
pretty much impossible to do a DNS server change without taking 2 weeks

Isn't the secure login on the web site, plus email verification enough ?

I wonder how many Malaysian companies register a .com or other gTLD 
just to avoid this red tape
