ABSTRACT
For the past 24 months to date, Singapore, The Philippines and Malaysia have had reviewed its personal data protection laws to partly align with some but not all the European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements. Besides this significant progress, on 14th June 2019, Singapore Personal Data Protection Commission is the first Data Protection Authority in ASEAN to have signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the U.K Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and on 13th January 2021, the Philippines’ National Privacy Commission signed MOU with the ICO. Both MOUs are aimed towards joint cooperation and shared intelligence between these jurisdictions. Indonesia Personal Data Protection Bill is the jurisdiction to watch for due to its progressive economy and ‘data localisation’ requirements. In parallel, organisations in ASEAN have been prioritising on cybersecurity and data governance initiatives as part of the member states’ digital economy and data innovation strategy gradually triggered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, Disruptive and Emerging Technologies.
