KUALA LUMPUR, 14 JANUARY 2026 – The Malaysia Competition Commission (MyCC), an agency under the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) has issued a Proposed Decision against two (2) enterprises for their alleged involvement in bid rigging cartel of the Central Spine Road Construction Tender (CSR Tender) issued by the Public Works Department. These enterprises are provisionally found to have infringed section 4 of the Competition Act 2010 [Act 712]. The affected and tender involved procurement valued at RM285 million.
Through investigations by MyCC, it was found that the enterprises agreed to engage in the coordinated information-sharing and collusion in the preparation and submission of their bids. MyCC finds that such agreement had the object of significantly preventing, restricting or distorting competition in relation to the public procurement relating to the CSR Tender.
It is important to highlight that at this stage, the proposed decision is a provisional and it should not be taken that these enterprises have conclusively infringed the Act 712.
The enterprises named in the Proposed Decision were notified of the proposed penalties and directions today. They are given the opportunity to submit their written representations within 30 days upon receiving the Proposed Decision as well as present their oral representations before the Commission on a date to be determined later. MyCC will issue its Final Decision only after considering the representations made by these enterprises together with the evidence obtained during the investigation.
