PKR wants Datuk Raja Munir Shah, MyEG Services Bhd’s biggest shareholder to be probed for anti-competition activities.

MyEG was awarded a contract by the Home Ministry to renew the permits of foreign workers in Malaysia, and to charge RM38 for each renewal. PKR wants the Malaysian Competition Commission to investigate the monopoly contract given out to the company without without open tender.
