Telco mega-merger - we can't be outclassed by Bangladesh, says MP

An opposition MP today urged Putrajaya to stop the proposed merger between telco giants Digi and Celcom, warning that it would be detrimental to consumers.

Stampin MP Chong Chieng Jen said if it is by Axiata Group Bhd's own admission that a merger between the two companies' subsidiaries in Bangladesh could not proceed due to anti-competition laws, then the same should apply for Malaysia.
