   WITH COMPLIMENTS.

   “BIG COMPLIANCE IN THE AGE OF INNOVATION: PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION LAW IN MALAYSIA AND ASEAN REGION”
   Jeong Chun Phuoc.

   A. INTRODUCTION
   The PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION ACT 2010 (‘PDPA 2010’) was enforced within reasonable time by Malaysia commencing 15 Nov 2013. Despite its enforcement, the private sector is still in the dark. Many do not have in place any proper PDPA COMPLIANCE PROGRAM.

   The PDPA enforcement position adopted by Singapore is a good move in the right direction as well.

   B. COMPLIANCE ASSESSMENT
   Despite potential serious fines and penalties for PDPA violations and PDPA non-compliance, the attitude remains lackadaisical.

   C. PHASE 2 ENFORCEMENT
   In Phase 2 of the COMPLIANCE & ENFORCEMENT MODEL, strict enforcement and audit measures will be taken to enforce COMPLIANCE.

   D. CONCLUSION.
   Megatrend in PDPA protection will see full adoption and enforcement of PDPA protection within ASEAN region in particular, commencing ASEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY (AEC) 2015 and beyond.

   E. COMPLIANCE PROGRAM
   Organisations are strongly advised to establish an effective COMPLIANCE PROGRAM to ensure full compliance
   with PDPA ACT 2010 to avoid serious fines and penalties for non-compliance/violations under the PDPA 2010.
