I feel that there is a need to clarify the PDPA thingy.
You sign the PDPA = you consent for YOUR info to be disclosed (to a certain extent mandated by law to prevent overly onerous terms)
In other words, e.g. the bank to disclose, you got to sign such a specific clause to the bank '... I agree for the bank to disclose on my behalf to my prospective employer on my credit status, notwithstanding the amount of debts i've owed for the past decade and have only been paying interest...'
My point is, don't discuss about the law if you've no idea how it is operated in reality.
