Cybercrimes Bill 2026: What’s Changing and Why It Matters
Cybercrime has evolved far beyond traditional hacking. From ransomware and identity theft to AI-enabled threats and attacks on critical systems, Malaysia’s legal framework is evolving with it.In this episode of The Legal Insight Podcast, our Technology Practice Group Partners, Ong Johnson and Lo Khai Yi, together with Principal Associate Winn Wong, join host Nicole Goh to unpack the Cyber Crimes Bill 2026 and what the new framework could mean for businesses.💡 The discussion covers why the Bill is being introduced, the key cyber activities it seeks to criminalise, new enforcement powers, and how incidents such as unauthorised access and data breaches may trigger multiple legal considerations at the same time.The team also explores how the Bill sits alongside Malaysia’s existing Personal Data Protection Act and Cyber Security Act 2024, particularly where personal data or National Critical Information Infrastructure (NCII) is involved.For in-house legal, compliance and technology teams, the message is simple: cyber incidents rarely involve just one area of law. Understanding how these frameworks work together is becoming an increasingly important part of incident preparedness and response.🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe and turn on notifications to stay updated with the latest episodes of The Legal Insight Podcast.

Buy Now, Pay Later? Part 1: Understanding the Consumer Credit Act 2025 and the New BNPL Landscape
Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) has become a familiar part of how consumers pay. With the Consumer Credit Act 2025 now in force, the rules governing BNPL providers in Malaysia have changed significantly.
In this episode of The Legal Insight Podcast, our Technology Practice Group Partners, Ong Johnson and Khai Yi Lo, together with Principal Associate Winn Wong, join host Nicole Goh to break down the new regulatory framework and what BNPL providers need to know.
💡 The discussion covers the transitional period for existing providers, how BNPL differs from money lending, key licensing and operational requirements, and new expectations around advertising, pricing and customer disclosures. The team also explores what these requirements mean for customer onboarding and the wider BNPL journey.
For BNPL providers, the message is clear: compliance needs to be reflected not just in policies, but in how the business operates and engages with consumers every day.
Stay tuned for Part 2 as we continue the conversation on the Consumer Credit Act and its impact on the BNPL industry.

PDPA Guidelines Series (Part 3): Understanding Data Protection by Design (DPbD)
Many organisations only start thinking about personal data protection after a new system has been launched or, worse, after a data breach has occurred. By then, the damage may already have been done.The newly issued Data Protection by Design (DPBD) Guideline encourages a different approach: embedding privacy into systems, products and business processes from the very beginning.In the final instalment of our PDPA Guidelines Series, our Technology Practice Group Partners, Ong Johnson and Khai Yi Lo, join host Zach Shaw to unpack the DPBD Guideline and discuss what it means in practice for organisations.💡 The conversation explores how businesses can integrate the seven Personal Data Protection Principles into every stage of the personal data lifecycle, from collection and disclosure to retention and disposal. It also highlights why effective governance, senior management commitment and cross-functional collaboration are essential to making privacy part of everyday decision-making, rather than a compliance exercise.🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe and turn on notifications to stay updated with the latest episodes of The Legal Insight Podcast.
