Singapore has just concluded public consultations on their Personal Data
Protection Act 2012 whose purpose is defined as ' *use and disclosure of
personal data by organisations in a manner that recognises both the right
of individuals to protect their personal data and the need of organisations
to collect, use or disclose personal data for purposes that a reasonable
person would consider appropriate in the circumstances.*”  Hmmm, that
'reasonable person' reference again.

Of thematic interest to me: consent and how it is described, prescriptions,
if any, for occasions when consent is withheld, responsibilities of the
players in the stream and matters pertaining to
international/extra-territorial processing.

Here is a link to the consultation paper:

The analysis of the response are yet to come.

There was an earlier consultation for defining a consumer data protection
regime.  See the responses to that consultation here:
