Malaysia is not a party in the WTO Government Procurement Agreement, and as a result foreign companies do not have the same opportunity as some local companies to compete for contracts.  In most cases, foreign companies are required to take on a local partner before their bids will be considered. In domestic tenders, preferences are provided to Bumiputra (Malay) suppliers over other domestic suppliers.
