𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗮’𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱?

Regulated by SC or BNM? How do private credit players legally operate?

In this edition of CorporateBytes, we explore the regulatory framework surrounding private credit in Malaysia, the roles of the Securities Commission (SC) and Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), and the regulatory gap created by the absence of a dedicated private credit regime.

As the market continues to evolve, an important question remains: is the current framework fit for purpose?

⚖️ Prepared by our Corporate & Investor Services Practice Group, Shaun Lee, Sherzanne Lee, and Carmen Lee, CorporateBytes delivers practical corporate law insights in minutes, not hours.

Our Partner, Ankit Sanghvi, was honoured to speak at a training session organised by REHDA on 11 June 2026, where he shared insights on legal developments impacting Malaysia's housing development industry.

The session explored several significant court decisions and regulatory developments that continue to shape the rights and obligations of housing developers, including:

* LAD claims arising from booking fees, SPA dates and project delays
* The implications of the landmark Ang Ming Lee decision and the limitations on Extensions of Time (EOT)
* When marketing materials and representations may give rise to legal liability
* The continuing impact of COVID-19 relief measures on LAD exposure and housing delivery obligations

With increasing scrutiny on project timelines, purchaser rights and statutory compliance, these developments serve as important reminders for developers to carefully navigate both legal and operational risks.

HHQ would like to thank REHDA for the invitation and the opportunity to engage with industry stakeholders on these important issues.

As organisations increasingly adopt AI and automated technologies to support decision-making, questions around transparency, accountability and individual rights are becoming more important than ever.

What exactly is Automated Decision-Making and Profiling (ADMP)? How does it relate to AI? When does it become high risk, and when will it trigger a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)?

📺 Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/rHq5dUYx4v0

In this second instalment of our PDPA Guidelines Series, our Technology Practice Group Partners, Ong Johnson and Lo Khai Yi, join host Zach Shaw to unpack the newly issued ADMP Guideline and discuss how organisations should assess the risks arising from AI-powered decision-making and profiling activities.

💡 From automated CV screening and insurance underwriting to AI-driven risk assessments, organisations must understand when ADMP may significantly affect individuals and the additional transparency obligations that may follow.

Malaysia’s data protection landscape is entering a new phase.

Following the release of the new Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) Guidelines by the Department of Personal Data Protection, organisations are now expected to take a more structured and risk-based approach towards personal data processing.

But what exactly is a DPIA, when is it required, and how should organisations approach it in practice?

📺 Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/uDimTpI-gWQ

In this episode of The Legal Insight Podcast, our Technology Practice Group Partners, Ong Johnson and Lo Khai Yi, join host Zach Shaw to unpack the practical implications of the new DPIA Guidelines and what organisations should be paying attention to moving forward.

💡 As regulatory expectations continue to evolve, organisations will need to move beyond compliance on paper and focus on practical implementation, risk management and accountability in data governance.
