800 Trillion Telephone Bill

PENDANG, KEDAH, MALAYSIA: A meat importer had a shock when he received a hefty telephone bill — for RM800 trillion.

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.

Yahaya, from Kampung Pauh, Kubur Panjang, said he nearly fainted when he saw the bill, which stated it was for outstanding arrears.

The letter, from a debt-collection agent based in Sungai Petani was dated April 3, and demanded that the house owner settle the bill within 10 days or face legal action.

He said he had settled the previous bill of RM84.82 at the Kedai Telekom on Jan 13 and requested that the telephone line be disconnected since no one was living in the house.

"If the company wants to seek legal action as mentioned in the letter, I’m ready to face it. In fact, I can’t wait to face it," he said.

He said it was careless for the company to send a bill without checking, since the amount was larger than the total telephone bills of the whole country.

Yahaya said his parents were among the first in the whole kampung to fix a telephone line.

He added that the bill was also addressed to Alor Star, Penang instead of Kedah.

"It’s illogical. There is no Alor Star in Penang," he said.

I think it would be even more than the total worth of that telecom company.

 

That's a lot of phone sex talk!

 

Maybe yes.. but with that money.. We can buy any country.. hehehe

 

Maybe quite few Extra 0's added
it maybe RM80.64

 

I just converted it into INR, and it is Rs. 10483200000000000.13 and equivalent to $233063583815028.9

I even dont know what to call that amount.

 

you can call it my monthly adsense check *barump bump bump*

 

Seems that they sent their last 10 years turnover Total

 

I don't think it's the last 10 years turnover total but maybe 100 years turnover.. What a bills..

 

233 trillion, 63 billion, 583 million, 815 thousand and 28 dollars 90 cents

But you would probably round that to 233.1 trillion

interested to know what that would be in lahk and crore, and roman numerals (I am a sad git)

 

I don't think you can write roman numbers larger than 4000 - well no standardized version

Its Rs. 1048320000 Crore (104 Crore, 83 Lakhs, 20 Thousand CRORE) Only.

One of the Big Companies in India (Reliance) has turnover of 74,418 crore (US$ 17 billion) last year.
