They should have a kill switch if suddenly the usage exceeded 300% of the market rate. Then verify with owner only proceed to unlock

Yup, one of my tenant did that. Rented it out to a local guy, agreement with his company. He siap changed the TNB account under his name so that didn't raise any suspicion at all.
Fast forward 1 year, got a call from Sarjan saying the tenant curi elektrik to run his Mining business (from a double storey house). We stormed in and saw a small partition was built with 8 holes in the 3rd room. One small part of the upper ceiling was broken. All the windows were sealed and covered with chipboard, all windows tinted heavily and full black-out curtains was used.
The tenant went MIA.

QUOTE(ycs @ Sep 15 2025, 11:02 AM) they bypass smart meter, how to detect like that?  Bro, u think TNB can’t compare total meter usage of individual users in an area with the total actual powder delivered to the area to detect there is power theft?

QUOTE(p4n6 @ Sep 15 2025, 11:05 AM) You may not understand the concept of how they steal electricity. The reason why it is called “stealing” because the cable didnt even pass thru the meter. Unlike the typical meter tampering and limit electricity passing thru the meter, they now perform total bypass. The way i see it, owner of property shall not be liable, this is as if a thief steals goldbar from goldsmith and store in the unit, so goldsmith cannot put owner of property responsible of stealing the goldbar.

QUOTE(iGamer @ Sep 15 2025, 10:55 AM) Now that TNB implemented smart meter for many users, they should be able to detect illogical power consumption easily… eg how is it logical if residential unit consume high power 24hr nonstop? Surely it’s being used to mine BS crypto. I say the real idiot could be TNB. it is clearly a design issue. this is how the Sarawak Energy (similar to TNB) works: 1. you abuse electricity too much. 2. SE come to your house and take away a "fuse" at the meter. 3. you buy a "fuse" and reinstall. 4. step 2 and 3 repeat. 5. you already profit enough. 6. repeat This post has been edited by Skylinestar: Sep 15 2025, 12:53 PM

It should work both ways. TNB can definitely detect irregularities, but it requires more effort. Every substation has its own main meter, so they could cross-check and spot inconsistencies. But why bother when they can simply go all out to claim backdated payments, which is far more profitable for them?
There have been many cases where a tenant rents a unit for two years and uses it for crypto mining, yet TNB issues a backdated bill covering up to ten years. That means they can easily pocket eight years’ worth of extra charges. It’s basically daylight robbery. That’s why, in recent years, we’ve seen several owners hit with million-ringgit lawsuits from TNB.
Extra:
Please la, those who keep saying “why not just change the bill to the tenant’s name” to avoid trouble — did you even read the news? Property owners still end up in court even when the electric bill is under the offender’s name. And when that offender goes MIA, the owner can’t even reconnect the supply until the case is settled. So in the end, it’s just LPPL.
