THE Malaysian Competition Commission (MyCC) has accepted the changes made by M.Y. EG Services Bhd (MYEG) to its online foreign workers’ renewal system.

MYEG was notified of this by MyCC via a letter dated yesterday following several meetings with the commission.

“As such, with the acceptance of the changes made, the daily penalty of RM7,500 will cease with immediate effect. Penalties up to the date of the acceptance amount to RM9,644,700, of which MYEG has paid RM6,412,200,” it said in a statement today. 

MYEG said with MyCC’s acceptance, its board of directors believe the group has fully complied with the decisions of the competition commission and its Competition Appeals Tribunal (CAT).

“However, the appeal MYEG filed in the Court of Appeal will continue,” it said.

MYEG had filed the appeal against MyCC and CAT’s decision, and is appealing against the penalties imposed.

“MYEG wishes to reiterate to all users that the changes required are in relation to the user interface of the group’s portal and does not affect the ongoing delivery and provision of all its services.” – Bernama, March 5, 2019.
