Business owner charged with possessing uncertified android boxes with intent to sell

SEREMBAN: A business owner pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here on Wednesday (May 10) to two counts of possessing communication equipment not certified by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).

Chiah Mei Chi, 32, was charged with possessing one unit of SVICLOUD wireless media player (model 3 Pro) and eight units of model M8S PRO W for the purpose of selling them at a shop in Lukut, Port Dickson, at 12.50pm on July 28, last year.

The charges, under Regulations 16(1)(b) and 16(1)(d) of the Communications and Multimedia (Technical Standards) Regulations 2000 and punishable under Regulation 16(3) of the same regulation, carry a maximum fine of RM300,000 or jail term not exceeding three years or both.

MCMC prosecuting officer Mai Zairani Zainal Abidin prosecuted, while Chiah was represented by counsel Vivek Sukumaran.

Judge Mazni Nawi allowed her bail of RM5,000 in one surety and set June 21 for mention of the case. - Bernama

All TV box? Since almost all provide 'free' content.

I remember MCMC was issuing warning few years back.
Nothing is free lol. Sure pirated free content

Yea and they went after consumers instead of suppliers

At least now tackling the supply side. Demand side will always remain because we all cheapo.

yup hahaha confuse fellers

Shit...
Not yet buy the box....
But using the service.....

Already v serious. U go digital mall. No1 dare sell openly. 1 box if not mistaken 20k penalty

Authorisize should catch and charge the buyers users as well for stealing.

not all box
the box itself is legal
it's what inside that's illegal

tvbox/android tv can sell lah

as long got mcmc cert

Buy TV box but use legal contents? Got bodo do this ka?

Asteruk business very bad lately. It’s not a surprise if they give MCMC some “pressure”.

Illegal car accessories nobody bat an eye.

So MCMC only tangkap if the box itself illegal? Nice loophole lol

Last Time @ndy lau and t0ny leong promote CD-PRO2, no tang kap also

it's called netflix, disney plus or hotstar
those are all legal

what kind of loophole?
the app inside is what makes it legal

if inside all legal app like netflix, MCMC cannot do anything

if MCMC wanna be hardworking, actually a lot of people can be caught already
they can actually trace those IP addresses that's connected to the illegal server/app and do a massive operation if they wanted to

Android TV boxes in stock form are actually legal.
Problem is, almost all the TV box sellers in this country sell the kind that includes ‘free’ streaming services.

dont most mamak with tv using those all these times?
free sports channel with 4k quality

these days svi cloud box are generaly empty ..and seller will give u link to download the software and do the setup ..

lazada still sell em

Topkek.
