Within HQ itself, we had intranet where we could message/email each other. This one was the office in Jalan Liku to HQ in Jalan Riong where you can hear the modem dialling the phone number. So this should be internet, right? Perhaps this was a private one; not for public.
If you are talking about public subscribing to internet, it was Jaring which was years later.

I thot Internet was only available in 1993 or 1994 when AIMS first brought it to the Malaysian shores?? They partnered with Jaring as AIMS provided the raw KLSE feed to KLSE's servers and felt it was easier to have Internet than using Intranet which everyone was using then.
For home-users it was dial-up through the copper telephone wires, while corporate companies could opt for a leased line connection which cost an arm and a leg, not like today, where it cost only a fraction of what it used to be.
Hmm..... *scratch head* let me go ask the man responsible for what I thought was the first Internet service. Will get back to you.   |
