Multimedia Super Cincai

MSC is 10 years old today. Considering the speed of the Information Age, 10 is old. When it was first launched there was much hype and hope. Ten years down the road, broadband is still scarce.

My home is a mere 30-minute drive to MSC but yet there's no broadband service. The people in Telekom (they like to call themselves TM now) and Jaring insist that my place is as remote as Ulu Kanowit. Broadband is also not available in my office which is WITHIN the MSC area. So canggih huh...

The speed of broadband in Malaysia is 1Mbps, or so they claimed. In Singapore (yeah the country that Mahathir loathe so much) it's from 10 - 20Mbps. It's cheaper too and readily available. And don't give me that crap that Singapore is small hence easier to put up the infra. KL is oso small maa...!

Happy Birthday MSC - Multimedia Super Cincai.
