Rela Denies Signing Up People Without Their Knowledge Will Launch Internal Investigation

In a statement released by RELA through its official website and social media channels, the agency denied that it has registered members of the public without their authorisation. The statement was quick to point out that the unauthorised registration is against Section 6(1) of the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) 2010 which is rather interesting since Section 3(1) also states that PDPA does not apply to federal or state governments....

Valve has done the same before with the review bombing of Borderlands 3. Despite Psyinox’s clarification, fans’ worries are not unfounded....

While the rumour has clearly been debunked from the horse itself, it is somewhat intriguing that such a rumour made its way into the internet; NVIDIA is said to be prepared to pay Softbank up to US$32 billion (~RM134 billion) for all of ARM....
