brother why wanna show off, gg

In this case, user is paying promptly their bill.

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.

That’s why tenant stole energy to mine lah

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.

this

summore tnb system is advance already, can always cut off after exceed the deposit limit what

Alot of people steal from TNB, be it Bitcoin mining or normal meter tampering or bypass. Earlier also got one house owner install Tesla charger find technician to install before his home meter to bypass. Also caught and pretend stupid dunno. Most landed also steal/bypass during renovation time …senyap only, if want to check sure alot will sink … but house one is small fries, likely TNB deliberately wait 10-20 yrs then to backdate…

This also not inclusive those illegal food stalls tapping from lamp post consuming local council electricity… if catch them will use gov zalim card

the tenants did not steal, they just don't pay for the electricity

the tenants did not steal, they just don't pay for the electricity

no. user is not paying. basically get free electricity.

if not passing thru the meter, then how TNB determine how much electricity was stolen?

They are paying what is billed. Not paying what is not billed. The electricity being tapped will not show on the meter.

TNB shall be the one stopping people from stealing instead they allow electricity stealing for months or years then come and ask for payment … so they deliberately want to profit from that … their system would have detected irregular consumptions …

They culprit normally bypassing the meter..so its not recorded in tnb meter
