Malaysia Competition Commission has kicked off investigations into claims of monopoly against e-government services provider MyEG in the renewal of foreign worker permits.
MyCC chief Dr Mohd Khalid Abdul Samad was quoted today by news portal The Malaysian Insider as confirming that the watchdog has received complaints against MyEG and has started the probe.
The introduction of the MyEG system had caused confusion at Immigration Department branches nationwide after employers and their agents were directed to use MyEG’s new online system in place of the discontinued permit counters.
Putrajaya has temporarily reopened Immigration Department counters issuing migrant worker permits following a backlash when the registration was outsourced to MyEG Services.
CPI reported earlier this week that PKR wanted MyEG probed for anticompetitive activities.
