A man tries the Acer Aspire One netbook at a computer mall in Taipei September 8, 2009. Reuters picSARIKEI, Dec 2 Investigations will be carried out if there is evidence that people were offering for sale the 1 Malaysia netbooks, says Information, Communications and Culture Deputy Minister Datuk Joseph Salang.
He said there were such allegations in the past but no evidence to substantiate them and for investigations to be carried out.
“Now we have the allegations surfacing again and in Facebook postings where people are offering for sale the netbooks for between RM100 and RM300 each.
“I don’t know whether this is true as anybody can post the sale offer on Facebook. This can be just a hoax. How can a person has so many netbooks to sell?” he said when asked to comment on the issue, here last night, which was brought up by Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Dr Yee Moh Chai recently.
