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.

Versi BM dibawah.

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. Since this matter is now being investigated by MCMC and the police cyber crime will have to be also involved sooner or later. So far no MACC report has been lodged.  Too complicated for me!

Penerangan Komunikasi dan Kebudayaan melaporkan pada polis atas artikel Rockybru. Ini adalah perkara yang diluar jangkaan. Oleh kerana perkara ini sedang dalam siasatan oleh MCMC dan polis jenayah siber akan terlibat juga. sehingga kini, tiada laporan dari MACC yang dilaporkan. Perkara tersebut terlalu rumit bagi saya!.
