The demise of Jaring is another victim of UMNO cronyism and corruption

Malaysia first ISP wound up is a tragedy for taxpayer’s money.

Year 2004: Jaring is sold cheaply at RM 2 million to Utusan Printcorp Sdn Bhd headed by managing director Norhisam Mohamed Nor by MOF in 2004. Jaring turnover is around RM110 million in 2013.
