The Malaysia Competition Commission has imposed a RM415 million ringgit fine on five major chicken feed companies, its largest fine to date. They were found guilty of forming a cartel aimed at increasing the price of poultry feed, consequently impacting chicken prices, a staple protein source for Malaysians. Iskandar Ismail, the CEO of MyCC breaks down the case for us.
