Former COA judge appointed chairperson of MyCC

The Malaysia Competition Commission (MyCC) has appointed former Court of Appeal Judge, Mohd Hishamudin Md Yunus as its new chairperson, effective Sept 5.

In a statement today, MyCC said Mohd Hishamudin has 45 years of legal experience, having served as a judge at the Court of Appeal, Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court, Senior Federal Counsel and the President of the Sessions Court.

Meanwhile, the commission also appointed Jamal Sulaiman, a former senior director at the Malaysian Public Works Department, as a commission member.

“His knowledge and experience in planning development projects will assist the commission in identifying anti-competitive behaviours in the industry,” it added.

According to the Competition Commission Act 2010, the chairperson and commission members are appointed by the Prime Minister on the advice of the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister.

Established under the Competition Commission Act 2010 (CA 2010), MyCC is an independent body responsible for enforcing CA 2010 to promote healthy competition for the benefit of businesses, consumers and the national economy.
