Abstract
The approach of this chapter is by way of issues-based. As prelude, it touches on digital economy and its connection with data protection in general. Complementing the previous Chaps. 1–3, it then unveils the trends and the hypes of Malaysian scenarios and cases in dealing with data protection. As a disclaimer, the given scenarios and cases have nothing to do with existing parties, companies and organisations that I consulted and engaged. The final section draws the attention on what I coined as: ‘bubble’ relationship—government-business-consumer—that is, how to manage and draw the data protection governance within the ‘bubble’ in view of the PDPA.
Computer themselves, and software yet to be developed, will revolutionise the way we learn. (Steven Paul Jobs, Co-Founder and Chief Executive of Apple Inc; 24th February 1955-5th October 2011)
