Microsoft Corp's RM2.4 billion Malaysian Government Contract.

MICROSOFT Corp, the world's largest company by market capitalisation, decision  READ : to invest US$2.2 bln in cloud and AI services in Malaysia, looks like it was spurred by  a contract estimated to be valued at RM2.4 billion from the Government of Malaysia.

THERE is nothing remotely wrong in the Government trying up such a deal with the American company.

WHAT is wrong here is in the way, the Madani Government communicated the Microsoft investment into Malaysia, especially READ : on the matter of creating 300,000 job opportunities via training, shows a level of insecurity.

INSECURE, because we are only being served with half the story, and that too a fully sugar coated story.

TO  dive deeper into the story, we must travel back in time to READ :May 6th, 2021, when the then Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin oversaw an agreement between HRD Corp and Microsoft Corp to help train 300,000 Malaysian workers.

THE current going rate for such upskilling expertise via HRD Corp to the trainer, in this case being Microsoft Corp is LAPAN RIBU RINGGIT SATU KEPALA.
