KUALA LUMPUR: The Freedom of Information Bill will be tabled in the Dewan Rakyat by the end of this year, says M. Kulasegaran .
Information on personal data, matters that threaten national security, defence and diplomatic relations will, however, be excluded. He said the government also agreed that the Official Secrets Act 1972should be amended accordingly, to ensure both Acts function in tandem with each other. Another engagement will be held at the end of August with more than 500 participants from federal ministries and agencies expected to attend, he added.
