Follow the law: MCMC says it will take firm action against those owning and selling non-certified Android TV boxes.
PETALING JAYA: Two directors of LC Marketing Network Media Sdn Bhd were fined RM10,000 each after they pleaded guilty to having 79 units of non-certified Android TV boxes at the Digital Mall here.
Chen Kaiyi, 34, and Yeak Wang Ying, 33, were charged at the Petaling Jaya Sessions Court earlier this week.
Their company, LC Marketing Network Media, has also been slapped with a RM15,000 fine.
The case was investigated under the Communications
and Multimedia (Technical Standards) Regulations 2000 and Section 244 of the Communi-cations and Multimedia Act 1998.
Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) enforcement and investigation head Datuk Mohd Shafie Harun reminded the public to look out for the Sirim label before purchasing a communications device.
“MCMC urges the people to only purchase and use communications equipment that have been certified by Sirim. If you are unsure, download the Check Your Label mobile app or visit ecomm.sirim.my to ensure the device is legitimate and certified,” said Mohd Shafie.
