Politicians often take sides with the corporations and the elites who owns the establishments.

That is why the entire world is rigged from top down at least to protect the ones with interests.

This is like if you parked your car in someone's car park owned privately but your car got stolen. Instead of blaming the theft, the owner of the car park gets prosecuted instead of the theft?

Like they say the theft tapped on the wire branch before going through the electric meter, should the owner of the property whose account under the meter is the one guilty?

What is the electricity is tapped at the main trunk wire before the branching into individual homes? Will TNB still pick scapegoats to blame?

Yes the smart meters these days can be read daily remotely. If the amount accumulates beyond the deposit credit limit threshold, TNB should already be alarmed.

But you see the problem here lies is that none of the individual meters were recording the stolen electricity.

The theft tapped the stolen electricity supply from the incoming wire before going through the meter.

So who to blame?

Straight accusing the landlord is wrong, if the landlord tempered with the meter that is another story but instead the renting tenant got away free?

That is finding easy way scapegoat to pay for the losses.

Also R&R problem.

Like I said the analogy, someone parked in a private car park owned by the landlord, when the car stolen instead of prosecuting the theft you go after the landlord of the carpark?

Also if people tap and steal water from the pipe from outside your house, just because it is stolen closest to the branch that goes into your house before the meter, you the landlord kena saman?

EDIT:

Why they dare not pursue the theft directly which is the tenant renting from the landlord?

Got insider job that he/she knows between TNB contractors which will be spilled out?

Now thinking carefully, this electricity thefts might have something to do with insider job just like TM cable thefts recently.

Or they have already planted tap points in the infra from beginning to allow electricity thefts during build outs.

Developer, TNB contractors and project contractors all got involvement? When the landlord decided to rent out the premise, they straight took opportunity to jump at it?

On second thoughts the electrician who did the cable theft before the meter input, is not very smart person. If he is TNB insider, he should know the master meter telemetry will identify the leaks very easily with the excess consumption.

Buried underground if worst how did the tenant managed to tap the electricity before the meter and stole so much without doing major modifications noticed?

Not unless the taps were already well planned and known. They had the layout design plan where to tap from.

Why you want create gaji buta for corrupted people?

It is their duty/responsibility to check before the meter entry point because it's their own infra and property.

The landlord cannot be held responsible anything beyond outside the meter or what we call demarc point.

Already you can proof that theft is the tenant that rent from the landlord with all the equipment confiscated from the premise and raids.

Why still insist on accusing the landlord?

Yes, why not the tenant got very solid evidence on him.

Landlord has the rental service agreement which the tenant signed and also the confiscated crypto mining equipment which belongs to tenant.

This 2 are very solid evidence and proof that the tenant is the thief.

This is very silly logic.

If say the public utility pipe and electricity cable that is the property of the utility company is in front of your house. People tap and steal from it, the tenant is held responsible?

Do you even understand what is a demarcation point or demilitarized zone(DMZ) between 2 country borders work?

At one side is TNB's property, the other side of the beyond the meter is the tenant's responsibility.
In this case, the TNB Smart Meter Input and Output serves as the Demarc Point.

If you don't understand go and Google "What Is A Demarc Point".

This one is gas line into residential homes.



*Only the green line after the demarc point is the responsibility of the property owner.

This case sounds odd. I feel that the law firm which is representing these landlord tenants cases is incompetent and useless when it comes to consumer tribunals. I suggest they should boot him and find a more experienced one in handling their cases since their cases already involved millions.

Nothing to lose to spend a bit more on someone who can handle their cases better.

The defendant lawyer for the group of landlords is quite useless. He doesn't even know how to defend their rights with substantial evidences at hand to instead relay the claims towards the tenant who was the real thief.

I would suggest they should change law firm and find a more experienced one in handling their cases.

The device which hooks unto a live incoming wire called an Ammeter (3 coloured wires means a 3-phase supply) each registering a draw of ~48A each while the TNB smart meter is not recording as much utilization means there's theft before the meter modifications involved.

The unit looks vacant and without activity. It's already suspicious that a vacant unit like that can be consuming that much electricity at one time.

48A per phase 3X48A is like 144A peak. That's already like a large factory.

Smart meters are cannot easily tempered because they're digitized. These thefts tap it from somewhere before going through the customer's meter to get free electricity. It is these cases where the theft taps it before going through the meter that holds TNB responsible instead of the landlord because it's the responsibility of the utility provider to make sure no leaks on their part of the supply before the customer's side of the demarc line(reading meter).

HP to Watts per hour estimation table:

1HP - 2544BTU/hr - 745Watts - 3Amps per unit
1.5HP - 3817BTU/hr - 1119Watts - 4.7Amps per unit
2.5HP - 6361BTU/hr - 1864Watts - 7.8Amps per unit

144A???
