The Malaysia Competition Commission and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission have forged partnerships in the joint enforcement action in addressing exclusivity arrangements between telecommunications service providers and property developers or joint management bodies in high-rise residential buildings following complaints received from the public. Another area of collaboration is in addressing competition issues related to e-commerce platforms and delivery partners.
The parties have signed MoU setting the stage for structured collaborative efforts including strengthening alliances, advocacy activities, capacity building and co-operating on joint investigations and enforcement actions, as well as mutually assisting each other in their respective functions, ultimately leading to mutual benefits for both regulators. This further demonstrates the government’s commitment to enhance the effectiveness of economic policies and thereafter protecting consumer interests in the country through competition policies and enforcement.
Prior to the signing of the MoU, MyCC and MCMC organised a forum on “Fortifying Industrial Policies Through Competition” featuring experts in the relevant fields. Speakers and participants had engaged in constructive discussions and insightful
exchanges on how healthy competition can benefit the market and consumers. The forum was attended by stakeholders of MyCC and MCMC.
