MCMC: How is the USP being managed? Bagaimanakah USP dikendalikan?

update 23.10.2010:

As at 31-12-2010 2008 the USP fund was RM4.67 billion. Please read the comment by Ahiruddin Attan a.k.a Rockybru asked several pertinent questions, which are very interesting. I shall table those questions in Parliament this coming week.

Of late, the Malaysian Communication & Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has been in the news for reasons best known to itself. The blogger, Rockybru, has been investigated by MCMC for one of his postings and his “Ferrari” was also detained. YB Datuk Seri Utama Dr  Rais Yatim, Minister of Information, Communication and Culture has lodged a police report on Rockybu’s said posting. This was an unprecedented act.
