Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M) has expressed its concern over the latest set of alleged data leaks and the sale of Malaysian identity cardholders’ personal data on the internet.

This comes after tech website Lowyat.net reported that a dataset from the National Registration Department containing details of the country’s entire population born between 1940 to 2004 was put on sale on an online database marketplace forum.
