DECEMBER 18, 2009: TWO Bills – the Personal Data Protection Bill and the Credit Reporting Agencies Bill – which are scheduled to be tabled at the Dewan Rakyat have been withdrawn due to time constraint.
They will be tabled at the next sitting scheduled for mid-March next year.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Abdul Aziz said the withdrawal would also give MPs more time to study the Bills and prepare for debates.
The Personal Data Protection Bill is aimed at regulating personal data processing in commercial transactions.
The Credit Reporting Agencies Bill, meanwhile, is aimed at providing the mechanism to register and supervise all credit tip-off agencies involved in processing credit information of clients.
Apart from Budget 2010, the other Bills passed by the Dewan Rakyat included the Judges Ethics Committee Bill, Malaysia Deposit Insurance Corporation (Amendment) Bill, Rubber Industry Smallholders Development Authority (Amendment) Bill and the Capital Markets and Services (Amendment) Bill.
The Dewan Rakyat adjourned sine die yesterday after sitting for 36 days.
