How will Malaysia’s Data Sharing Act 2025 shape the way data is shared across the public sector and industries? While the Act primarily regulates data exchange between government agencies, its effects extend to businesses and various sectors that interact with public data. From compliance challenges to new opportunities for collaboration, what does this mean for organizations navigating Malaysia’s evolving data landscape? To help us break it all down are Ong Johnson and Lo Khai Yi, Head and Co-Head of Technology Practice Group, and Partners at Halim Hong & Quek, who share their insights on the Act’s real-world implications.
