Looks like the PDPC is all about enforcement and fines, not making organizations pay out to individuals. Good to know the limits of their authority.

Haha, I bet the person who wrote this question was trying to trip us up with that compensation option. Nice try, but the PDPC isn't a court!

I was pretty sure the PDPC couldn't order compensation, but I'm glad to have that confirmed. This is a straightforward question.

The correct answer is C) Order an organization to award compensation to a complainant. That's not within PDPC's powers under the PDPA.
