Universiti Malaya’s Abu Bakar Munir says Malaysia is one of only two nations that do not subject its government to data protection laws.
An expert said potential investors scrutinise personal data protection laws before deciding whether to bring funds into Malaysia.
“Participants in most forums and meetings that I attend locally and also abroad have raised this matter, saying it is unfair,” he told FMT.Abu Bakar said Malaysia was the first country in Asean to draw up personal data protection laws. He said he has conveyed the concerns of various global players to officials of the ministry, which is presently reviewing the PDPA.
Apart from being on the team which drew up the PDPA, Abu Bakar has also advised Indonesia and Saudi Arabia on its data protection laws. He said both countries agreed to his proposal to omit a similar clause from their legislation.
