Grab has gone to court to challenge the Malaysian Competition Commission’s (MyCC) proposed fine of over RM86 million against the ride-hailing firm for contravening the country’s competition law.

Grab Inc, alongside related corporate entities Grabcar Sdn Bhd and Myteksi Sdn Bhd, filed a leave application for judicial review, through Messrs Shanthi Kandiah Chambers, at the Kuala Lumpur High Court Registry on Dec 30 last year.

On Oct 3 last year, MyCC proposed a fine of more than RM86 million against Grab for violating the Competition Act 2010 through its alleged imposing of restrictive clauses on its drivers.
