DATA protection in Malaysia is poised for significant changes – that’s if the Communications and Digital Ministry succeeds in tabling the amendments to the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) in Parliament this year, which may see the amendments to the Act carried out by March 2024 at the latest.

Initiated in February 2020 with the issuance of a public consultation paper, efforts are underway to align the PDPA with global data protection laws.
