Data is a valuable resource that can be used to improve public services, enhance national administration, and foster innovation and development. However, data also poses challenges and risks to the privacy, security, and rights of individuals and organisations. How can we balance the benefits and harms of data in a democratic society? How can we ensure that data is used in a transparent, accountable, and ethical manner by the government and other stakeholders? How can we empower citizens to access, understand, and participate in data-related decisions that affect their lives?
The 3rd series of the NDSP Series will explore the concept of data democracy and its implications for Malaysia. We will discuss the current policies, strategies, and governance frameworks that regulate the collection, processing, sharing, and use of personal data and open data in Malaysia.
