CONCLUSION

Up till October 15, 2009, the position in Malaysia regarding data privacy issues are still not absolutely govern by any specific law as compared to other countries. There have been many attempts by the legislator to pass a law that shall govern data protection. However, the only one that have been passed so far is only the DNA Identification Act 2009. Malaysia is still waiting for the Bill of Data Protection to be passed so that the citizens shall be protected from their data being misused and disclosed freely by others.
