ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the sociolegal constitution of facilitative infrastructure in proto-Malaysia and within the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC). It explores the MSC's facilitative infrastructure, including real estate development by Cyberview Holdings, the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange, the North-South Expressway and Telekom Malaysia and MEASAT. The chapter concerns itself with the first guarantee, the promise to '[p]rovide a world-class physical and information infrastructure' to MSC-status companies. It discusses that the Telekom Malaysia also has an ownership interest in many of the MSC's development projects including Cyberview Holdings, the company charged with the land development and urban construction of the MSC. The National Economic Policy was a cornerstone of the First Outline Perspective Plan. The Malaysian government defines privatization as 'the transfer to the private sector of activities and functions which have traditionally rested in the public sector'. The laying of telecommunications cables and the launching of satellites require a tremendous amount of capital and technical expertise.
