KUALA LUMPUR: The proposed Freedom of Information Act in Malaysia is being worked on, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said to ensure that the enactment of the Freedom of Information Act and Act 88 complement each other.
“This will indirectly facilitate Malaysians to be more actively involved in the process of shaping the country’s policies,” the minister said in a parliamentary written reply dated Nov 8. According to Azalina, the proposed Act will be enacted to ensure the disclosure of information for the public's benefit and to allow every individual the chance to access information related to any ministry, department or agency through submitted requests.
