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!.

The government has set up a fund called USP (Universal Service Provision) where it is mandatory for all telcos to contribute 6% of its annual income to this fund.  I am sure that this USP fund must be in billion of RM.

USP was set up to develope IT in rural areas where all telcos are not interested for obvious reason i.e. not profitable. This is a very commendable move by the government because IT must not be restricted to Klang Valley only.  It must be one of our national agendas to provide IT facilities to our brothers and sisters in the kampung.  So far I do not remember hearing about USP fund or how it has been spent by MCMC for the rural areas.

As far as I can remember, Parliament has not been informed about USP or how USP has been managed, its current balance, whether it has been audited yearly  and etc. Perhaps it is timely that MCMC should tell us all about it.  If MCMC choose to remain quiet about it, then I shall have no alternative but to raise the issues on USP in the Parliamentary debate  during this Budget session.

Update: Pada 31.12.2010 2008 tabung USP adalah sebanyak RM4.67 juta. Sila baca komen oleh Ahiruddin Attan ataupun lebih dikenali sebagai Rockybru telah bertanya beberapa soalan berkaitan, yang sangat menarik. Saya akan membentangkan soalan tersebut di dalam Parlimen pada minggu yang akan datang.

Kerajaan telah menubuhkan tabung yang dikenali sebagai tabung Peruntukan Perkhidmatan Universal(USP), iaitu mandatori untuk syarikat-syarikat telekomunikasi berlesen dimestikan membuat sumbangan sebanyak 6% atas pendapatan tahunan mereka kepada Tabung USP.  Saya yakin pengurusan tabung ini melibatkan dana berbilion ringgit.

USP dibentuk untuk membangunkan teknologi maklumat (IT) di luar bandar dimana semua syarikat telekomunikasi tidak berminat atas sebab berikut:-tidak menguntungkan. Ini adalah satu tindakan yang sangat dihargai oleh kerajaan kerana IT tidak hanya dihadkan untuk Lembah Klang sahaja. Ia mesti menjadi antara agenda pembangunan infrastruktur IT untuk abang-abang and kakak-kakak di dalam kampung. Sehingga kini, saya tidak ingat kedengaran tentang tabung USP ataupun bagaiman ia telah digunakan oleh MCMC untuk kawasan kampung dan pedalaman.
Dalam ingatan saya, Parlimen tidak diberitahu tentang USP atau bagaimana USP atau USP harus dijalankan, isu baki semasa, adakah ia telah diaudit setiap tahun dan sebagainya.Mungkin ini adalah saat MCMC harus memberitahu kepada kita semua perkara berkenaan. Jika MCMC memilih untuk mendiamkan diri tentang perkara ini, saya tidak mempunyai alternatif selain dari menyuarakan isu ini atas USP di dalam pendebatan parlimen semasa sesi Bajet ini.
