PETALING JAYA: The United States government has initiated two anti-dumping investigations on Malaysian producers, following allegations that the country is selling ferrosilicon and dioctyl terephthalate below cost to undercut American manufacturers.

In the case of ferrosilicon, the government has also been indirectly implicated, as it is alleged to have put in place numerous subsidy programmes to encourage the production and the export of ferrosilicon.
