‘Our data is not a plaything'
Briefing about the upcoming 5th World Presidents' Conference by Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong. 28 NOVEMBER 2024 一 CHAN TAK KONG/The Star PETALING JAYA: The government's move to collect detailed phone and Internet usage records from telecommunications companies has crossed the line and is a breach of the people's right to privacy, says MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong (pic). He argued that such detailed data collection is unnecessary for policymaking in the information, communications and technology (ICT) and tourism sectors, as claimed by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). 'This is not about whether we trust the current government. The real question is: why does the government need such detailed information about its citizens?' Dr Wee asked in a Facebook post. 'Today, it's for analysing tourism statistics, but who knows what it will be used for tomorrow? 'If the aim is to count tourists or active broadband users, aggregate data is more than sufficient. There's no need for personal data.' It was previously reported that, according to industry sources, the government had instructed local telcos in April to hand over detailed call and Internet usage logs for the first quarter of the year under a so-called 'Mobile Phone Data' project. The data requested reportedly included call logs and IP call records, as well as precise location information, including latitude and longitude. Telcos were also warned that failure to comply would constitute an offence under the Communications and Multimedia Act, punishable by a RM20,000 fine or up to six months in jail. MCMC has since clarified that the data is intended to support evidence-based policymaking in the ICT and tourism sectors. The commission also stressed that the data would be anonymised before submission, with no personally identifiable information included. 'In both cases, no individual subscriber can be identified through the data collected,' MCMC said in a statement. However, Dr Wee remained unconvinced, warning that anonymised data, when combined with other data points, could still be traced back to individuals. 'If you're collecting data on who we call, how long the calls last, our IP addresses, and our exact location at specific times and dates, then it's very easy for someone with access to this data to piece it together and uncover our identities,' he said. Dr Wee also pointed out that cross-referencing data from mobile apps like MySejahtera, e-wallets, CCTV footage, Touch 'n Go, and banking records would further erode individual privacy. MCMC also claimed that extensive engagement with telcos over the past two years had taken place to ensure the safe transfer of data, a claim Dr Wee challenged. 'If everything was agreed upon and safely in place, why the need to issue threats to telcos?' he asked. Ultimately, Dr Wee said, the issue transcends politics and is about protecting the rights of Malaysians. 'Our personal data doesn't belong to any government, not the one today, tomorrow or those to come. 'When a government starts collecting such detailed data, it has already crossed a line. 'The people must speak up. Our data is not a plaything.'

Indonesia's FM calls for stronger Asean mechanisms after Vision 2045 adoption
JAKARTA/MANILA (Bernama): Indonesia's Foreign Minister Sugiono has called for strengthening Asean's institutional mechanisms, including its diplomatic corps and central bodies, to effectively implement the Asean Community Vision 2045 adopted at last month's summit in Kuala Lumpur. At a meeting with the Committee of Permanent Representatives to Asean (CPR) and Timor-Leste's Ambassador to Asean at the Foreign Ministry here, he praised the progress achieved through Asean's cooperation frameworks, especially after the adoption of the Asean Community Vision (ACV) 2045. He said the long-term vision, adopted at the 46th Asean Summit in Kuala Lumpur last month, outlines a strategic roadmap for the next two decades, envisaging a resilient, innovative, dynamic and people-centred Asean. "We need to strengthen Asean mechanisms, including the CPR, and bolster the Asean Secretariat and Asean Headquarters in Jakarta to optimise our potential in addressing challenges within the region and globally,' he said. Sugiono also underscored the CPR's role in fostering community building, facilitating cross-pillar coordination, and engaging with Asean's external partners, as it is essential to achieving the goals of ACV. He further welcomed Timor-Leste's upcoming accession as Asean's eleventh member state later this year. - Bernama

Thai Commander: Over 400 protests filed against Cambodian border violations
BANGKOK: In a detailed Facebook post, Major General Nutt Sri-in, Deputy Commander of the 2nd Army Region, alleged that Cambodia has violated the 2000 MoU by advancing troops and digging trenches into Thai territory. He stated that Thai forces have exercised restraint and pursued peaceful negotiations, but warned that further unilateral action could escalate tensions. Maj Gen Nutt Sri-in, Deputy Commander of Thailand's 2nd Army Region, posted a detailed message on his personal Facebook page on Saturday (June 7), highlighting key historical and legal facts surrounding the Thai-Cambodian border dispute. He wrote: 'The Truth... 1. Thailand and Cambodia have long-standing border issues, primarily because the two sides rely on different historical maps. 2. The 1:200,000-scale map often referenced was produced as part of the Franco-Siam Treaties of 1904 and 1907. It is a rough-scale map with several discrepancies from the actual watershed line. 3. To address these differences, both countries agreed to establish the Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) to work together on producing an officially accepted border line and demarcation markers. 4. While the JBC carries out its work, a Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2000 (commonly referred to as MOU43) provides guidelines for both sides. Notably, Article 5 prohibits any alteration of terrain that could impact the watershed boundary. - Photo: The Nation/ANN 5. In the past, Cambodia has consistently violated MOU43 by expanding communities, building casinos, and cultivating crops near the border—actions that damage the watershed. We have lodged more than 400 protests, but cooperation to resolve the issues has been minimal. Meanwhile, on our side, the area falls under national park status, so no such actions can be taken. 6. Before the burning of the Trimuk Pavilion on February 28, 2025, Cambodian troops were stationed no closer than 500 metres from the border. Our forces were similarly positioned. The area in between was a zone of peace, where both sides came and went, coordinated, and resolved issues through dialogue. 7. On February 28, 2025, Cambodia burned down the Trimuk Pavilion and advanced their forces to the alstonia scholaris tree, which intrudes approximately 150 metres into Thai sovereignty. They also dug a trench, destroyed the watershed, and violated MoU 43. 8. We have tried to resolve the issue peacefully, with patience and restraint. We have held negotiations many times, requesting the withdrawal of troops that encroached on Thai sovereignty, but Cambodia refused to pull back. Eventually, weapons were used on May 28, 2025. 9. Thai commanders at all levels have sought peaceful solutions, repeatedly negotiating for the withdrawal of troops from the encroached area. Cambodia claims those forces were already stationed there before MOU43, which is absolutely untrue. If troops had been there last year (August 2024), how could I have walked through that point to reach the Trimuk Pavilion? 10. Cambodia claims it is under aggression and that Thailand is not resolving the issue peacefully. They threaten to escalate the conflict to the International Court of Justice, saying it will bring closure. But how can there be closure? 11. Cambodia continues to reinforce troops and bring in weapons, attempting to extend control to other parts of the border that were previously unoccupied forest or hills. If we deploy forces to defend our sovereignty, it becomes a direct confrontation. For what purpose? 12. We have already agreed rules between our two sides. Wouldn't it be better to face each other openly and talk like men? If this goes to court, our children will end up adversaries forever. What good can come from that, if we still consider each other friends? - The Nation/ANN
