Proposed telco merger outside MyCC's purview, CEO says


PETALING JAYA: The proposed merger between Digi Bhd (Digi) and Celcom Axiata Bhd (Celcom) does not lie within the purview of the Malaysia Competition Commission (MyCC).

In a statement on Saturday (July 2), MyCC chief executive officer Iskandar Ismail said they were aware of repeated calls for them to intervene but added that the activities of telecommunication providers are subject to the scrutiny of the Malaysia Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), through provisions of the Communications and Multimedia Commission Act 1998.
