KUALA LUMPUR: At Tuesday's Dewan Rakyat sitting, Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Dr Maximus Ongkili said that the Government paid RM39.11mil for the Angkasawan space programme.
The first phase of the Angkasawan programme was not totally free of charge for the Government.
Maximus said that of the RM39.11mil paid, RM16.8mil was born by the ministry and RM22.28mil by government-linked agencies.
He added that the Russian Government funded RM75.8mil for the programme as part of a deal when the Malaysian Government purchased Sukhoi SU30MKM fighter jets from the Russian Government.
I still remember last time the government said that Malaysians didn't pay a single cent because its all sponsored by the Russian government (which is actually paid using taxpayer's money). And now something official from the Gah-ment themselves. They're just shooting themselves in their feet.... I really doubt gah-ment's ability to manage their funds... total over RM100million which could be spent on so many other developments.
