If this kind of case set precedent, DLLM who dare to rent things out wor. The individual meter registration should already separate the risk between tenant and owner.

sure some corporate by laws hiding somewhere let them win.

Must fight to FC la this case.

Meter registration isn't the issue right
Tenant is fake, scammer used stolen identity to rent and sign rental agreement
Scammer steal electric, owner doesn't realise and has no way of knowing unless he checks physically
TNB detected
TNB sue owner
Owner sue 'renter' but turns out it's stolen identity

TNB only cares who legally owns the meter, which is the owner
Up to owner to chase 'tenant' but if it's stolen identity then it gets complicated
scammer in the end goes scot free

I think it's much harder to use stolen identify to register meter, rather to rent

"and Loo, whose identity was stolen to rent a shop lot that amassed RM196,000 in electricity charges."

Doesn't matter. TNB still go after owner of premise.

this is exactly like ABC scam. scammer run away with profit. leave landlord and tnb main pedang
