PETALING JAYA:
The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission is investigating a company suspected of selling uncertified communication devices online.

This follows a joint operation with the police under Op Taring Bravo 3, Bernama reported.

A total of 3,837 units of various communication devices were seized by the police and handed over to MCMC for technical analysis and further review.

They included wireless gaming consoles, remote controls, smart devices and tablets worth a total of about RM500,000.

“These devices are believed to have been marketed without valid technical certification from MCMC,” the commission said.

Under Regulation 16 of the Communications and Multimedia (Technical Standards) Regulations 2000, offenders may be fined up to RM300,000 or jailed up to three years, or both, upon conviction.
