PDPC calls on firms to better protect data

Singapore

THE Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) on Wednesday called on organisations here to improve how they protect personal data.

This comes shortly after the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the PDPC said they would investigate a case involving United Overseas Bank (UOB), which had its clients' unshredded documents found in a trashbag under a tree at Boat Quay.
