my recent case dealing with TNB, boss punya property got a new tenant, boss ask tenant to change TNB meter on their name. TNB side require the tenant to do IC thumb print verification, if anything they will go after the company/company director who did the thumb print verification.

Malaysia's Federal Court (highest Court in Malaysia) disagree with you cool2.gif


UPDATE Legal Case - TNB v Chew Thai Kay 2022

TNB cannot go after landlord. Must go after the registered meter owner.

ELECTRICITY SUPPLY

Federal Court (‘FC’): Tenaga Nasional Berhad (‘TNB’) has no power to disconnect electricity supply under section 38(1) of the Electricity Supply Act 1990 (‘ESA’) when there was no continuing offence under section 37 of the ESA

Section 38(1) of the ESA gives TNB, as licensee under the ESA, the power to disconnect electricity supply from premises if a person employed by TNB finds on the premises evidence which gives reasonable grounds for him to believe that an offence has been committed under sections 37(1), (3) or (14) of the ESA.

So what happen next? Tnb open new account for the landlord to rent to other people?

solar + battery price (in kwh) > TNB supply price (in kwh).....maybe in the future if battery technology improves 

This one no choice because still under owner name

Last 2 years I bought a sub-sale house, want to install unifi. The TMNet call and said previous owner didn't pay and it is tied to the address. So I can't apply unless I pay for it, bugimak 2k+ there belum pay (I go and msg the previous owner but he ignored it). End up I go for Maxis Home Fibre...

get help from victim group. stomp into unit and confiscate the crypto machine first. then report police. u report tnb they got insider tell miner pack their machine and run.

Buyer SPA lawyer don't check outstanding bills?

TNB behave like gangster or follow law ?

Might as well chase after some random person that has no legal ties to the issue and frame them, or make false claims against the said random person.

i mean other cases. now many victim on this. those crypto miner straight pull new supply from outside. also tnb got insider helping them to do.

just shows how useless they are. until rm2k+ also didn't cut internet. bodoh incompetent.

if tamper with meter or tap into power line before meter, how can the owner be responsible?

This is a theft already... TNB is just taking the easy way out..
in T&C with TNB got say property owner is ultimately responsible for the bill?

like that then i sud tap into my neighbour's line before meter and run mining machine...

Conclusion is, once detect tenant steal electricity, kick the tenant out, then ask electrician to remove all traces of tempering before rent out again. Since bill never recorded and all proofs are gone, TNB sendiri rugi and cannot find anyone to blame

That's assuming u detect first before tnb
