AI and deepfakes can do more than create misleading content. They can also be used to impersonate people, fabricate images, videos or voices, and make scams more convincing.

The Cyber Crimes Bill 2026 addresses this by criminalising certain forms of misuse involving digital identity, AI-generated content and deepfakes.

This can include creating intimate or sexually harassing images, or using a fake video or cloned voice of another person to deceive their family members and solicit money.

As these tools become more sophisticated, the risks to individuals are becoming more serious too. The Bill is intended to respond to that changing landscape by strengthening protections against new forms of digital abuse and deception.

𝗛𝗛𝗤 𝗟𝗮𝘄𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀’ 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 | 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁, 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 & 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱

Our Lawyers’ Retreat was a chance to step away from the usual routine, slow down and spend meaningful time together as a team.

Over two days, we reflected on how far we have come, shared our appreciation for the people and experiences that have shaped our journey, and talked about what we hope to build together moving forward.

The retreat was not all about discussions. We also made time to unwind with massage and ATV activities, enjoy meals together, start the morning with a group stretch and simply catch up outside the office.

These moments gave us the opportunity to reconnect beyond our day-to-day work and strengthen the relationships that make a team work well together.

A little time away, plenty of good conversations, and a renewed sense of connection as we continue the journey ahead together.

Cybercrime has evolved far beyond traditional hacking. From ransomware and identity theft to AI-enabled threats and attacks on critical systems, Malaysia’s legal framework is evolving with it.

In this episode of The Legal Insight Podcast, our Technology Practice Group Partners, Ong Johnson and Lo Khai Yi, together with Principal Associate Winn Wong, join host Nicole Goh to unpack the Cyber Crimes Bill 2026 and what the new framework could mean for businesses.

💡 The discussion covers why the Bill is being introduced, the key cyber activities it seeks to criminalise, new enforcement powers, and how incidents such as unauthorised access and data breaches may trigger multiple legal considerations at the same time.

The team also explores how the Bill sits alongside Malaysia’s existing Personal Data Protection Act and Cyber Security Act 2024, particularly where personal data or National Critical Information Infrastructure (NCII) is involved.

For in-house legal, compliance and technology teams, the message is simple: cyber incidents rarely involve just one area of law. Understanding how these frameworks work together is becoming an increasingly important part of incident preparedness and response.

𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗿 (𝗘𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀) 𝗖𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 | 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲

As Malaysia’s data protection requirements continue to evolve, the role of a Data Protection Officer is becoming increasingly practical. Beyond understanding the PDPA, DPOs need to know how to apply its requirements across day-to-day operations, manage data-related risks and support better governance within their organisations.

Halim Hong & Quek, in collaboration with HELP University, is pleased to introduce the September intake of the updated 2026 Data Protection Officer (Essentials) Certificate, featuring an enhanced 12-module programme.

The one-day programme covers the key areas a DPO needs to navigate in practice, from consent, privacy notices, data security and retention to data subject rights, cross-border transfers and mandatory personal data breach notification. It also looks at newer and increasingly important areas such as Data Protection by Design, Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA), and Automated Decision-Making & Profiling.

Designed for appointed and aspiring DPOs, as well as professionals in compliance, risk, governance, HR, IT, legal, audit and senior management, the programme focuses on practical, job-relevant knowledge that participants can bring back to their organisations.

The programme will be led by our Technology Practice Group Partners, Ong Johnson and Lo Khai Yi, who will share practical insights drawn from their experience advising on data protection, technology and regulatory matters.

📅 Date: Tuesday, 29 September 2026
🕣 Time: 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM
📍 Venue: Gallery, Level L5, Wisma CL, HELP University Bukit Damansara, Kuala Lumpur
💰 Course Fee: RM1,750 (8% SST included)
✅ HRDC Claimable

If your organisation is looking to strengthen its data protection practices and build greater confidence in handling PDPA compliance in practice, this programme provides a useful foundation for the DPO role.

Register now for the September 2026 intake.

𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀: 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗼 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗙𝗶𝘁?

Going public does not always mean getting listed.

An unlisted public company ("UPC") gives a business another avenue to broaden its shareholder base and raise capital without pursuing a listing on Bursa Malaysia. Unlike a private company, a UPC is also not subject to the 50-shareholder limit under the Companies Act 2016.

So when does this structure actually make sense?

In this edition of CorporateBytes, we explore how UPCs can raise funds, the circumstances in which this structure may be worth considering, and some key points for investors to keep in mind.

⚖️ 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.

Designing a BNPL business is not just about the product itself. Providers also need to think through how their entire operational flow will work in practice.

How will consumers be onboarded? How will their creditworthiness and affordability be assessed? And what happens when a consumer facing financial hardship asks for assistance?

These processes should be mapped out early, with compliance considered at every stage.

The idea is simple: practise compliance by design. Build regulatory requirements into the business model and operational processes from the beginning, rather than trying to address them only after the product is launched.

2026年全球工商法治大会 | 数智赋能法商融合法治护航制度开放

翰林律师事务所执行合伙人拿督郭义民受邀出席在中国海口举行的2026全球工商法治大会。大会由中国国际贸易促进委员会（中国贸促会）主办。

本次大会汇聚约700名现场参会者，包括外国政府官员、有关国际组织、国内外商协会及知名法律机构的高级别代表，以及跨国公司和行业领军企业负责人。部分境外嘉宾及各地贸促系统代表也通过线上方式参会。

会上，拿督郭义民以《跨境贸易与投资中的风险应对及争议预防机制建设》为题发表演讲。他分析了地缘政治局势、制裁、关税、供应链中断及监管规定变化，如何迅速转化为合同风险并进一步引发重大跨境商业争议。他强调，法律风险管理不应等到投资发生后才介入，而应从投资初期开始，并通过有效的合规体系、合同保障机制及前期争议预防措施，贯穿跨境投资的整个生命周期。

翰林律务所将继续发挥其在跨境投资与企业合规领域的专业经验，为进入马来西亚及拓展东盟市场的中国企业提供全面、务实且兼顾商业需求的法律支持。

Global Business and Law Conference 2026

Dato’ Quek Ngee Meng, Managing Partner of Halim Hong & Quek (HHQ), was invited to speak at the Global Business and Law Conference 2026 in Haikou, China, organised by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT).

The conference brought together approximately 700 participants, including foreign government officials, representatives of international organisations, domestic and international business associations, leading legal institutions, multinational corporations and prominent industry players. Overseas delegates and representatives from CCPIT offices across China also participated online.

In his presentation, titled “Navigating Risk in Cross-Border Trade and Investment, and Building Dispute Prevention Infrastructure,” Dato’ Quek discussed how geopolitical tensions, sanctions, tariffs, supply-chain disruptions and evolving regulatory requirements can quickly translate into contractual risks and major cross-border commercial disputes. He emphasised that legal risk management should begin before an investment is made and be integrated throughout the investment lifecycle through effective compliance systems, contractual safeguards and early dispute prevention mechanisms.

HHQ will continue to leverage its experience in cross-border investment and corporate compliance to provide Chinese enterprises entering Malaysia and expanding across ASEAN with comprehensive, practical and commercially focused legal support.
