28 January is a international holiday? i guess Malaysia has forgotten to put it in the calendar. maybe it means that Malaysian goverment still don't think of data privacy as a serious thing.
data privacy become a serious issues in international stage..i agree with you that mas still don't think it is a serious issue..
it's not that malaysia has forgoten to make 28 jan as data privacy day. its just the fact that malaysia isnt a member of the convention which made that day as data privacy day. so that's why we're not having 28 jan as a holiday...

it is not the matter of having a holiday on 28jan or not, but it clearly showed that Malaysia did not alert on data privacy issue...even after having several serious cases regarding the matter...
