SINGAPORE and Hong Kong have strengthened their collaboration on personal data protection, and will share their knowledge on data breaches to better prepare for a digital economy.

With the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU), Hong Kong's Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) and Singapore's Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) will share their experiences, exchange best practices and undertake joint research projects and share information on potential or ongoing data-breach investigations, the two sides said in a joint statement on Friday.
