Competition Topics
Please choose only ONE from the 10 topics listed in English and Bahasa Malaysia below.
Topics: In English
1. | According to SME Corp., Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) currently account for 97% of businesses in Malaysia and up to 36% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Given the significance of SMEs to the Malaysian economy, what are the benefits that Competition Law can provide to SMEs and how can these benefits be ultimately passed on the Malaysian consumer? |
2. | There are currently 68,000 Government Linked Companies (GLCs) in Malaysia which make up about 42% of the local share market. With such a large number of GLCs in the market, what steps should be taken by them to ensure that they contribute to the nation’s economy while at the same time adhering to the Competition Act 2010? |
3. | According to the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), public procurement currently accounts for approximately 15% to 20% of any country’s GDP and involves the procurement of goods and services with crucial economic significance.Given the importance of public procurement, please state why it is pertinent for government ministries and agencies to work hand in hand with the Malaysia Competition Commission to eradicate bid rigging? |
4. | In Malaysia, many companies hold a dominant position in their respective markets due to concessions given to them by the Government. These companies are considered to be national economic champions and are entrusted by the Government to not only seek profit but also to advance the interests of the nation. How does Competition Law help these dominant players in carrying out their roles as entrusted by the Government? |
5. | In line with the relevant regulations, many professional bodies in Malaysia such as the Bar Council, the Board of Engineering Malaysia and the Board of Architects Malaysia, among others, currently employ professional scale fees which their members are bound to follow.In light of Competition Law, should the professional bodies in Malaysia be allowed to continue to impose professional scale fees in Malaysia or should scale fees for professional services be decided entirely by market forces and not by the professional bodies’ respective regulations? |
Topik: Dalam Bahasa Malaysia
6. | Menurut pihak SME Corp., Perusahaan Kecil dan Sederhana (PKS) pada masa kini merangkumi sebanyak 97% perniagaan di Malaysia dan menyumbang sebanyak 36% dari Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar (KDNK) Malaysia. Dengan kepentingan PKS kepada ekonomi Malaysia, apakah faedah yang boleh diberikan oleh Undang-Undang Persaingan kepada PKS dan bagaimana faedah-faedah tersebut boleh disalurkan kepada pengguna Malaysia? |
7. | Terdapat sebanyak 68,000 Syarikat Berkaitan Kerajaan (GLCs) di Malaysia yang membentuk kira-kira 42% daripada pasaran saham tempatan. Berikutan bilangan GLCs yang besar di pasaran, apakah langkah-langkah yang perlu diambil dalam memberi sumbangan kepada ekonomi negara dan pada masa yang sama mematuhi Akta Persaingan 2010? |
8. | Menurut pihak Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), perolehan awam membentuk kira-kira 15% sehingga 20% daripada KDNK mana- mana negara dan melibatkan perolehan barangan dan perkhidmatan yang mempunyai kepentingan ekonomi tinggi.Dengan mengambilkira kepentingan perolehan awam, sila nyatakan mengapa ia penting bagi pihak Kementerian dan agensi Kerajaan untuk bekerjasama dengan Suruhanjaya Persaingan Malaysia untuk menangani tipuan bida. |
9. | Di Malaysia, banyak syarikat yang mempunyai kedudukan dominan di pasaran masing-masing kerana konsesi yang diberikan kepada mereka oleh pihak Kerajaan. Syarikat-syarikat ini dianggap sebagai national economic champion dan diamanahkan oleh pihak Kerajaan untuk bukan sahaja mencari keuntungan malah juga untuk memajukan kepentingan negara.Bagaimanakah Undang-Undang Persaingan membantu para pemain yang dominan dalam melaksanakan peranan mereka seperti yang diamanahkan oleh pihak Kerajaan? |
10. | Menurut undang-undang yang berkaitan, banyak badan profesional di Malaysia seperti Majlis Peguam, Lembaga Jurutera Malaysia dan Lembaga Arkitek Malaysia menetapkan skala fi profesional mereka yang mana ahli mereka terikat untuk mengikutinya.Dengan mengambilkira kehendak Undang-Undang Persaingan, patutkah badan-badan profesional di Malaysia dibenarkan untuk terus mengenakan skala fi profesional atau patutkah skala fi bagi perkhidmatan profesional ditentukan secara sepenuhnya oleh kuasa pasaran dan bukannya oleh undang-undang mereka? |
