    The Leniency Programme in Malaysia’s Competition Regime: A Critical Evaluation

    Lee, Cassey | July 2019
    Abstract
    Malaysia’s competition law came into force in January 2012. Detailed guidelines on a leniency programme were published in October 2014. Despite the leniency programme being designed based on best-practices found in more mature competition regimes and ICN, it has been under-utilised in the cartel cases investigated in Malaysia. This under-utilisation of the programme could be due to the enforcement agency having too much discretionary powers. Another reason could be the lack of immunization from civil proceedings. De-facto government oversight and spillover from deterioration in the country’s state of governance in the past could also have affected the public’s perception of quasi-independent commissions. This is reflected in the perceptions of the business community on courts and corruption in the country.

      Malaysia’s 2018 Budget: Balancing Short Term Needs and Long Term Imperatives 

      Leng, Yeah Kim (ISEAS Yusof Ishak Institute, 2017-11-24)
      The 2018 Budget for Malaysia was unveiled by the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak, in Parliament on 27 October 2017. The budget was crafted with a clear sight on a general election that must be called by August 2018. Not surprisingly therefore the budget contains well-spread sweeteners for key constituencies, but not overly generous as to derail the medium term ...
