RM806,400,000,000,000.01 bill

that is over RM800 trillion, mind you!

yep, a man in kedah received a over RM800 trillion telephone bill.

Yahaya Wahab, 63, said a debt-collection company, commissioned by Telekom Malaysia, had sent a bill for RM806,400,000,000,000.01 to his late father’s house, which has been vacant since his death.

can you believe that? it’s so silly!!

yahya said that he settled the previous bill of RM84.82 in january this year, and then request telekom to cut off the telephone line as nobody is staying there.

maybe telekom did not disconnect the line. maybe some vagrants or some kids went into the house to use the telephone, thus choking up a huge amount… but how can until over RM800 trillion… which is more than the total amount of all telephone users in the country! so silly!!
