Malaysia’s government to amend Personal Data Protection Act to require notification of data breaches

Posted on June 4, 2024 by Dissent

The Sun reports:

The government is planning to amend the Personal Data Protection Act of 2010 to include breach notification requirements that compel companies to inform authorities when a data breach happens in commercial transactions, said Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo.

Gobind said his ministry proposes to table the amendment at the next sitting of Parliament with a total of seven points that it wants to raise.

“One of these is related to notification. When there is an incident where we believe there is an attempt to breach, companies need to notify the commission so that we can inform all involved parties … data owners and so on.
