To strengthen ICT, the Government will expedite the implementation of High Speed Broadband (HSBB) at a total cost of RM11.3 billion, of which RM2.4 billion is from the Government and RM8.9 billion from Telekom Malaysia. Initially, broadband services with the speed of 10 mega bytes per second (Mbps) will be provided in selected areas in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor by en-March 2010. Subsequently, these services will be extended to other areas nationwide between 2010 and 2012.

Let's see... 10Mbps. What's Singapore's current offering:
From StarHub: Up to 100Mbps for ~SGD 86 (~RM210).
Hmm... compared to RM88 for 1Mbps
Basically, it's nothing but rubbish given to a rubbish service provider that has nothing in common with reliability and service.
If you are wondering why this is late, it's because I am coding something.
