To mr straight.., theme and r&s is a big pirate to the country.. Winning the tender by providing trash content to Malaysia education system... By bride.. They won the tender...this all crook company will steal what ever they can.. Go a find out.. I know every details what going on...full of crook and scumbag...they will destroy our Malay Chinese and India children in the country..,

Ini bukan isu kaum... Ini isu tender yg diberi tidak mengikut procedure disebabkan gejala rasuah... Bahan yg tidak wujud dpt kontrak jutaan ringgit... Mangsa siap... Anak melayu cina Dan India... The whole project corupted even a report have been made.... Bullshit if they said they follow the rules... Try cek deep... And surprise.. U will fine the thruth

This YTL think they very good at making money. What is real is they are only good at stealing from Msians. Those close to the YTL "cabinet" inner circle already knew they going to get the 1Bestarinet project one year ago. What's this big fuss now is really nothing to them and their big boss. The 1Bestarinet is YTL's backup plan to salvage their 4g project in case it goes south. Well it really does seem to be heading south now with hardly a few hundred thousand users paying 30 to 40 ringgit to them monthly against their billions invested. At the rate they are going it will take YTL more than 10 years to get back ROI so backup plan must be activated now or else they die. What can I say? Go on continue to vote BN and by 2020 we can all migrate to Philippines or Bangladesh and work as labourers while our wives can work as maids. Then we can bring money home each year to pay our children's expensive broadband service supplied by YTL.

This large project multi billion ringgit to a new telco YTL who is an infant in telecommunications is full of suspect. D Yes YTL has been around for about a year. On what basis did the MOE officials think that YTL can do connectivity for all 10,000 schools and provide all the services that the MOE needs. Even the previous company, TM subsidiary having the best covering the whole country could not deliver what was required by the schools.

I am told that the evaluation of the 10 bids was done within a week. This evaluation was done at a leading hotel in KL and the results was out within a week that YTL was top. How is it possible to do a technical evaluation within a week of a project worth billions. Was the tender an eyewash?

A project like this nature normally would have reps from Mampu and EPU..but this time around no reps from these key agencies were on the technical committee. The MACC should go in and investigate.

Even the specifications is based on Frog a software company that YTL bought from UK. Please someone out there check this out...even the tender was called in a rush and the closing date was rushed and everything was rushed..why is it to fill the coffers of some for wahtever reasons ?

There are so many players out there Maxis, Celcom and Jaring who can do the job..one company cannot do it all...whats the big idea of giving it to one company and expect them to do miracles..cant a few companies be given zones ..there is a hidden agenda in this..Please investigate .MACC please go and investigate.

To Jonyeow You have a misplaced sense of righteousness by foliowing the rubbish newspaper Star .
YTL can do this only in bolehland

To Jonyeow Many people have stopped reading Star & NST They are great spinners of Barisan s news
They are also extremely suppoetive of big chinese business houses in Malaysia.Francis Yeoh is a famous bribe giver like the one sided power agreement with TNB fleecing the rakyat.
YOU STOP the RUBBISH and siding your YTL There are many other proven service providers.

YTL have invested into this company (2 years ago)(well planned drama) for only one reason - to secure the VLE Virtual Learning Environment Technology from UK and participate in 1BestariNET Tender as one of the main crucial component of the 1BestariNET is the Learning Mgt System or better known as LMS.

This YTL think they very good at making money. What is real is they are only good at stealing from Msians.

All about corruption..... MBMMBI... the company won the tender dont have any product to install to the labs...

i for one know that this is an OPEN TENDER.. with the evaluation based on the best Technical and Financial packages.

Please stop the rubbish and speculation.

The article is here from The Star, on 31 August 2011.. and the link is also attached below.

Hence, in May this year, the Education Ministry called for a tender bid for the wiring up of all schools under the 1Bestarinet project and in the tender's posting it was clearly stipulated that the tender was open to all local companies with preference given to bumiputra tender bids registered with the Finance Ministry under some codes stipulated.

This tender bid which opened on May 5 saw over 80 companies collecting the tender documents. At its closing on May 31, it is said that only 19 companies submitted their bids. The six shortlisted are from the 19 that submitted bids.

Given its past experiences with Schoolnet, the ministry had spelt out certain conditions for 1Bestarinet. It wants the future network to be scalable to cater for growth and to evolve with technological evolution. It should have a VLM which will allow teachers and students, among others, to have a platform to write plans and share ideas. The Internet speed has to be constant and cannot be based on "best effort.'' For urban areas, the access speed is 2Mbps to 10Mbps, and for rural and remote schools 1Mbps to 4Mbps. All sorts of technologies can be used, be it fibre or wireless technologies including Vsat, wireless, WiFi, but the link to the school should be via fibre.

"The Education Ministry will also have an inbuilt checking mechanism to ensure that the vendor delivers as per specifications," said a source.

Another crony is Lim Kok Wing. He petitioned government funds to build a 'Malaysia Design Technology Centre' in Cyberjaya but the building has long been taken over for his own private business: a 'university'. Yes, this private 'university' was paid for by taxpayers. Understand now why his ads are never about education and always about him hobnobbing with senior government officials.

Why is it must a Malay, Chinese, Indian, dan lain lain when accusing a crook? A Crook is a Crook....forget about the race. Why is it must be Muslim, Buddhist or Christian Crook? A Crook is a Crook...forget about the religion. If most of comments still surrounding someone's race, religion or 10 wives, there won't be hope for any changes even a change of government.

At least YTL will be able to implement this project. May be overpriced but we will never know without a transparent open tender.

Now simple logic YTL not even a tier 1 telco which mean they does not own any bandwidth going out the country and have to rent from the tier 1 boys which the cost of bandwidth is cheaper to them then YTL can do this is totally absurd as YTL is providing best effort which the school going to get rubbish again and people get cheated again. hint hint i heard there a lot of meeting in london and dubai before this been awarded.

Hohoho, to all the Ketuanan hardcore-
don blame Chinese robbed the every single opportunities to make money..
blame your BN goons to give away the opportunity to the Chinese cronies.

I have read the document cited and the subsequent venom towards YTL but I cannot see how one thing pertains to the other? You all seem to be talking as if the document cited is proof of illegal activity or corruption, but I cannot see it? Of course, I am not insinuating that the government here is NOT corrupt, but it seems the activities and crimes of some are now being haphazardly laid upon YTL? I think you guys need to calm down and instead of hating everything, have more positive thoughts.

You guys may very well be right. Maybe there is something going on here... But until I am presented with damning evidence I for one will subscribe to occam's razor and assume that the company with the best 4g network on the market was the awarded 1bestarnet project

If you people know that cronies get dis n dat, you avoid supporting them. Thats what I do, cancel Maxis, cancel Astro way back in 2003!!! I rather support TM, Celcom (Malay-managed) - don't buy stuff from Cosway anymore, avoid Pappa Rich, avoid Sports Toto & 1+3D, and whats's more, I am ethnic Chinese!

Why is it must a Malay, Chinese, Indian, dan lain lain when accusing a crook?
A Crook is a Crook....forget about the race.

Why is it must be Muslim, Buddhist or Christian Crook?
A Crook is a Crook...forget about the religion.

If most of comments still surrounding someone's race, religion or 10 wives, there won't be hope for any changes even a change of government.

If LGE is close to YTL, they both halleluyah ma! After LGE went to prison, born-again saw window of opportunity & hey presto! Added one more to flock of sheep. Same as Tan Koon Swan, after prison, came out, born-again, same as a few other latuks who went bankrupt, distraught, became born-again. As if it is of any help.

This award, without transparency nary tender process, just kasi saja, is quite similar to the Aircel/Maxis case, hoh???

ytl yes uses wimax which is outdated compare to latest 4G LTE advance technology which is truely 4G

YTL YES is WIMAX technology which is outdated technology, the latest is 4G LTE Advance.

YTL bosses pray to the God of Fortune aka BN

We have Malay crooks in this country, now we discovered one Christian crook. Very soon Hindu and Buddhist crooks will follow them.

And there is a Methodist Christian tycoon under the name of Tiong Hiew King, who is also top 10 Malaysia's richest man, according to Forbes.

Rumor has been spreading like wildfire this tycoon has many wives both inside and outside the country. Multiple wives is prohibited in Christian. How true is this rumor? Perhaps his own staffs can verify it.

Looks like the Pendidikan Moral lesson in primary and high school serve no purpose for future leaders and generations. Almost every leader in our country is interested to earn some bucks, either by hook or by crook.

If no 30%, no matter how hard YTL prayed to God; no contract! Period!

Thames and R & S Niaga are supposed to be doing specific identifiable work.

What exactly is YTL going to work on? For the work identified as KPM/41/2011/06/003.

The other two cover all regions of Malaysia already. What region is YTL covering? Another region of Malaysia from image maps done by RazakSat?

Btw, this 1bestarinet is worth 4.5B serving 10000 schools with broadband up to 10 Mbps. Ytl cannot even serve my house, moreover 10 Mbps! How is it in this god's green earth can they be awarded the project? They must be praying to a special god...the ones at putrajaya. This is just /$:;&(@)-!

hope to get some order for the English Lab parts.

the owner is a christian LOL. Christ gonna punish you for your bad deeds.

Dear truthBE told
Its fine to be close to somebody...we are humans after all. However, that 'closeness' should not be compromised by bending the rules to favour one's friend (called cronism) or to favour one's relative (called nepotism).

Whether LGE is close to YTL or YTL is close to LGE is another matter and correctly said that LGE has nothing to do with the MOE.

You must understand YTL can get what he wants, he just pray to his 'God' and his prayer will be answered. Is not what he has been saying about himself?! So far his prayers have been successful to get his documents signed!

Just dishonor all hanky-panky contracts if PR takes helm over Putrajaya. There is a law in Malaysia whereby no party is allowed to attach and/or foreclose the government’s properties even if he wins a suit case.

The Pahang government’s refusal to pay Seruan Gemilang Makmur Sdn Bhd for a sum of RM70 million is a reflection of the above.

I am sure the cronies will force the government to sign undertaking guarantees to financial institutions for re-payment of loans granted to the cronies. If such case, PR’s government can apply the same rule provided the undertakings are signed in Malaysia.

Of course one might argue that our credibility will be dampened. If think of it; the cronies procure the contracts through corrupted means and the financial institutions knowing very well that such contracts are awarded through improper procedures and yet they approve the loans, then I think we should not feel guilty of dishonoring the contracts and undertakings alike.

truthBEtold is a sore loser from Kg Buah Pala who is one of the 9 families still waiting for his "dream RM RM RM million " compensation !!!! Serve them right for asking UMNO/MIC to champion their lost cause and now trying to blame others for their own stupid decision. Anyway Happy Deepavali and hope you all went to meet Semi Value at his open house.

"..., no negotiations, etc."

How can this be?How much each one gets out of this transaction has to be tightly negotiated!

Lets boycott YTL business in Malaysia. YTL hotels, YTL cement, YTL property, YTL constructions, YTL power, YES, ERL and what ever YTL business. This are bunch of robbers, claims to be honest and good Cristian, bull shit!!!

No problem. Shamsul Iskandar AMK can make a new police report on this while Anwar can rest in Jail. hahaha....

Thanks to Dr Mahathir for introducing direct negotiation. Our country is now much poorer as a result of this policy. Subsequently leaders took advantage of keeping this policy. I fear by the time Pakatan take over, there may be nothing left in our treasury besides having to go after all this crooks.

Almost everyone knew YTL is another mamak/UMNO cronies,so not a suprise.

truthBEtold, I was also also close to T.S. YTL. He taught me his Philosophy "Orang kalau tak makan orang bukan orang". What has this to do with YTL being awarded the tender. I was never involved in the selection.

This is a failed government. Every project smacks of endless siphoning of funds, kickbacks and done irrespective of procedures and regulations. We are the most corrupt government in ASEAN, in ASIA and in the world. Our leaders are the BIGGEST HYPOCRITES and LIARS. The CABINET Ministers are the worst and most inefficient being embroiled in petty politics. They have already jeopardized the country's future and I am sure the Government policies strive to divide and to rule the people rather than unite them. People are actually tortured, killed and hunted to cover up the elite politicians.

truthBEtold

LGE might or might not close to YTL boss. The important question is did LGE ever award any contract to YTL? Was it done on open tender process? Any problem with the tender??

LGE close with YTL, but LGE is not close to MOE. what's the link? I nearly bumped into TDM when he was visiting/inspecting the burnt subang airport decades ago, that sure imply I was 'closed' to him too?

God,what is happening to my country.?We are helpless.You must help.

truthBEtold, you are dead wrong. YTL is very cosy with mahathir and the Chinese are boycotting some of the products. Kindly do not write lies.

The best Christmas Gift by the Crooked Government!!!

truthBEtold - you slinging mud at LGE? I know you are BE-END a***h****. I know this for a fact. How this for shove up your a**?

30% to the pockets of UMNO....Started from Mahathir's era. Check YTL's interview in Singapore on doing business in Malaysia.

YTL is a chinese based entity.. hope Perkasa will look into this ,, Mr.Ibrahim i would like to hear whats ur comment on this?

FACT: LGE is close with YTL. So what will everyone ardent PR supporter say now? I know this for a fact.
