Yeah. In order to sustain our progress to a developed nation, we now have to squeeze money out of the Malaysian public to pay for better broadband infrastructure. Its not enough that our oil prices have jumped 30 cents a litre. Why can't we ever get good DSL internet prices like in Netherlands ? Its only 9.99 Euro for a 2 MB line over there.
Yahaya Wahab, a meat importer in Malaysia, had a shock of his life when he received a telephone bill for RM806,400,000,000,000.01 sent to his late father’s house, which has been vacant since his death.
If there were a "Highest Telephone Bill" record set in Guinness World Records, Yahaya could become a record breaker.
The letter from a debt-collection agent demanded that the house owner settle the Telekom Malaysia bill within 10 days or face legal action.
"If the company wants to seek legal action as mentioned in the letter, I’m ready to face it. In fact, I can’t wait to face it," Yahaya said.
It wasn't clear whether the bill was a mistake, or if Yahaya's father's phone line was used illegally after after his death.
