KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 26): The Malaysia Competition Commission (MyCC) has fined Dagang NeXchange Bhd unit Dagang Net Technologies Sdn Bhd (Dagang Net) a total of RM10.3 million for the abuse of its dominant position by engaging in exclusive dealing.
Dagang Net is the government’s sole service provider in the provision of online trade facilitation services for Sistem Maklumat Kastam under the National Single Window (NSW).
The NSW is an electronic-based ecosystem that enables customs related documents and transactions to be transferred electronically between the trading communities and regulatory authorities in Malaysia via a single point of entry.
In a statement today, MyCC said after a thorough investigation and due process, MyCC found that Dagang Net had infringed Section 10(1) of the Competition Act 2010 by engaging in exclusive dealing through the imposition of exclusivity clauses on software providers of the NSW from October 2015 to November 2017.
