Fil-qosor

Malaysia's PDPA 2010 is enforced by the Personal Data Protection Department under the relevant ministry. A distinctive limitation historically was that it applied only to commercial transactions and did not cover the federal or state governments. Significant 2024 amendments modernised the law, introducing mandatory breach notification, a requirement to appoint a data protection officer, the right to data portability, and stronger transfer rules, with provisions phasing in from 2025. Consent is a key basis and must be recorded, and notices should be in the national language and English. The amendments also increased penalties.
