Not by hogging everything to the government. Him being the minister of economic affairs should understand how bad it is to do everything in the civil service instead of outsourcing.\nCan you even tell us what internal controls are in place to prevent the leaks? Who holds the logs to data access? Who hold the access to data? Who designed and has access to the audit mechanism?\nAnother way to see it - whom will you trust more with your data? 3rd parties that is regulated by laws - that has actual penalties for not having proper controls (i.e. if the law is enforced properly)?

My understanding is that something similar to Malaysia's Omnibus Act existed before it's tabling.I am genuinely surprised The Star didn't even bother putting that quote in the article, so when it say own regulations it makes people think that it's a house rule and not official law or act. Irresponsible journalism.\nhttps://youtu.be/WsjtgnKbqrE?si=xa41HceaDklFCn9n\nEdit 1: as for specific \"own regulation\", he might be referring some of these as example. Yes, I gotten them from BardAI, so take it with a grain of salt, I ain't a lawyer :26554:\nNational Registration Department (NRD):\nNational Registration Regulations 1990: Governs the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data in the national registration system, including identity card numbers and biometric data.\nMyKad Information Security Policy: Outlines security measures to protect personal data stored on MyKad smart cards.\nMinistry of Health (MOH):\nPersonal Data Protection Policy for Healthcare: Sets out principles for handling personal health information, including consent, confidentiality, and security.\nMedical Records Regulations 2007: Governs the management of medical records in healthcare facilities, ensuring confidentiality and accuracy.\nBank Negara Malaysia (BNM):\nFinancial Consumer Protection Policy: Includes provisions on safeguarding the confidentiality and security of financial consumers' personal data.\nAnti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLA): While primarily aimed at preventing financial crime, it also mandates financial institutions to implement measures to protect customer data.\n<image>", "Im guessing he is referring to akta rahsia rasmi which every gov servant is bind to through the aku janji. Aku janji is a document every gov servant need to sign which basically says they cant share any information without approval. Which is the caveat. Meaning the administration has the authority to authorize the sharing or use of such information with any party they see fit.\nSo, it just comes down to, how much we trust the administration and the peoples under them with the data. Will they just limit it for the use of government assistance programs or will they widen the scope in the future.", "if that's the regulation he is referring to, then we are doomed. It is not tailored for this information age.
