What “MOT Penang” Didn’t Tell Their Employees

Recently I seldom read headlines on local newspapers due to too many dumbaxx news involving politician like to use “backdoor”. Instead of following the news and spin around, I usually jump to IT section inside the newspaper, which at least technically more enjoyable. Today, for some reasons, I continue reading the headline which sound like the following:

The Star, 5-Aug: High-Risk Deal

The Star, 5-Aug: High-Risk Deal

It is regarding Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) investigating a case involving a sub-par Singapore IT company being assigned RM1bil Malaysia project in upgrading communication system for policemen (Hmm… sound familar). It is actually not intesting until you read the rest on page 3:

The Star, 5-Aug: Upgrading project was first given to well-known MNC

The Star, 5-Aug: Upgrading project was first given to well-known MNC

Oops, the project was given to a well-known MNC initially and the government passed it to a local IT company to handle it (but somehow it ends at a Singapore IT company hand operated by Israelis??). Also, it said currently only RM45 millions had been approved and the government had decided to scale down the project. This leads to doubt on the survival of that MNC company in Malaysia which was an issue before election this year.
