Summary
The Selangor State Fatwa Committee ruled that changing the gender status on the MyKad depends on the type of surgery the holder has undergone. If the surgery is permitted by Islamic law, changing the gender status on the MyKad is permissible. If the surgery is not permitted by Islamic law, changing the status is forbidden.
