Rajah & Tann Asia Contributes the Malaysia Chapter of “Balancing Organizational Accountability and Privacy Self-management in Asia-Pacific”

Rajah & Tann Asia has contributed the Malaysia chapter of the report titled “Balancing Organizational Accountability and Privacy Self-management in Asia-Pacific”. This is a comparative analysis of legal bases for processing of personal data across data protection laws in Asia-Pacific jointly published by the Asian Business Law Institute (“ABLI“) and The Future of Privacy Forum (“FPF“). Many jurisdictions in the Asia-Pacific region are currently at a critical stage in the development of their respective personal data protection frameworks even as they face challenges arising from divergence of laws, regulations and other frameworks across the region. The report compares the legal bases for processing personal data in the data protection laws and regulations of 14 jurisdictions in Asia-Pacific, including Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Despite the differences in the regulatory structures and underlying rationale of each jurisdiction’s data protection framework, the report identifies common threads and connecting points between these frameworks and offers policy recommendations to increase their interoperability. Deepak Pillai from Christopher & Lee Ong authored the Malaysia chapter.
