Hi Expert here. Would like to ask.. in my previous 12 years of experiences in MNV never encounter to sign any PDPA before or after gotten the job. Right now , I go into a new MNC company for an interview and the interview went pretty well. Thus , finally this new company HR asking him to sign a PDPA form from the background screening company to check on my backgrounds. My questions is - I am not feeling well to allow them to check on mu background even I have nothing to hide.

My questions is - if I refuse to sign PDPA. Based on HR point of view , I will directly been drop from the new job offering ? Please share your expertise . Thanks.

Some companies especially financial institutions are required to do a background check, this is a regulation from Bank Negara.
For some financial institutions even manpower companies may have to submit background checks for the contractors they provide.
They will then have your personal data after the background check which means they are again required by law to ensure that there is signed PDPA.

Unfortunately if you refuse then you cannot be hired. Again this is from the perspective of financial institutions in Malaysia only

Yes , For FIS ( Finance Company ) they have regulated the compulsory of background checking but in MNC it is first time requires that. If they confirm do offer job then they can do the screening after I joined but before gotten any offer it seems not right. haha!
