Malaysia does not have specific legislation regulating competition as yet. Except for provisions on general competition practices fo the communications and multimedia industry, there is no comprehensive regime governing competition. There are a number of related trading and consumer statutes which impact on competition and there are statutes which attempt to introduce the concept of competition and the term “competition??? is used in these statutes. In relation to the acquisition of mergers and takeovers, there are guidelines and a code which apply but these also do not address competition issues. This paper seeks to briefly survey these laws and concludes with some observations.  Author: Cheong May Fong.
