#390 Circuits, Cargos, and Cures: How Does Singapore Run Competition and Consumer Protection?

https://ourcuriousamalgam.com/episode-player/3990/390-singapore-competition-consumer-protection.mp3?stats-code=ocaPodcastSite
Loke Shiu Meng, Assistant Chief Executive, Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCS)

Singapore’s Competition and Consumer Commission — CCS — has been enforcing competition law for roughly two decades and more recently consumer protection laws as well. How does a small, open, trade-dependent city-state design and enforce a competition regime that punches above its weight — and what does that mean for global practitioners? Mr. Loke Shiu Meng, Assistant Chief Executive of the CCS overseeing Legal Enforcement, joins Subrata Bhattacharjee and Anora Wang to discuss Singapore’s enforcement arc, its voluntary merger regime, the agency’s push against dark patterns and unfair trade practices, and how CCS navigates its role as a neutral hub in an increasingly fractured geopolitical landscape.
