U shold declare as a gift from friend.

Item have value more than RM500 can easily detain by them. Even that item get for free but the value state more than RM500. Real item value normally needed if the courier have insurance.

Maxis now selling at RM699 only lo... why need to buy from UK...

I think the iPad he buy is lower than rm500 inc shipping. Correct me if I am wrong. That's why he bought it in the first place.

unless i buy from apple
cross borders for ipad in this country will end up alot alot of issue
at least they didnt say it was a bomb triggering device

The customs also include the postage fee as part of the calculation. I tried reasoning with them that the items I bought is for myself and not for sale but they said that's how they calculate. Next is the weigh, if it's heavy enough they'll most probably start taxing and if you buy things on the internet they have customs in the office that can surf the net and come back and tell you how much are the items.

We're small timers buying bits and pieces from the internet and should not have been taxed.
