Throughout the pandemic and 2022, Malaysians have gritted their teeth and been left in the dark as data leaks and sales of personal data on open platforms have been reported time and again in the media.
Back then, the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government had informed the public they were looking into the matter and had stated the leaks “did not originate from the National Registration Department”.
Half a year later, we still do not know the status of the investigation or the cause of the leaks.
