‘Govt must also be held accountable’


PETALING JAYA: With the rising number of cases involving government personal data leaks, it is time to extend the scope of the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA), says legal experts.

As such, the PDPA must be amended soon because it does not apply to the Federal Government when it comes to data privacy, said Deepak Pillai, a technology, multimedia, telecommunications and data protection partner from Christopher & Lee Ong.
