Malaysia’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) was enacted in 2010 and came into force in November 2013, making Malaysia the first country in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to enact comprehensive privacy legislation.
On July 31, 2024, the Personal Data Protection (Amendment) Bill 2024 (PDP Bill) was passed by the Dewan Negara (Malaysia’s Senate). It is expected to receive royal assent and thereafter come into force on a date to be appointed by the Minister of Digital by notification in the Gazette.
The PDP Bill introduces significant amendments to the PDPA, including specific definitions, new obligations on data controllers and stricter penalties for non-compliance. These amendments align the PDPA with internationally recognised standards, positioning Malaysia alongside its regional peers in Asia-Pacific, including Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.

His comments come in response to a recent rise in complaints regarding the misuse and breach of personal data, an increase in personal data breaches, and a growing number of online fraud cases.
We outline below key changes brought about by the PDP Bill and its impact on businesses:Continue Reading Malaysia Pushes Out Groundbreaking Amendment to Personal Data Protection Act – Impact on Businesses
