To all those CDs lover pls beware!
Please do not keep any pirated or burned CDs, DVDs, or VCDs in your car.
Police and Domestic Trade & Consumer Affairs Ministry's enforcement division in Malaysia have started the operation to search and fine anyone who keep pirated disc inside their car especially through road block at all main road and expressways.
If any pirated or burned disc found inside your car will be charged RM400 per disc. Example 30 discs found means the fine will be RM12,000.
This is real. Another friend of mine from Seagate, today during lunch time, 5 CD x RM400 = RM2,000
One of the Plexus colleague brother-in-law caught by Police due to pirated CD in the car on the way to town for lunch with his friend in the afternoon. One CD fined RM400.
Please disseminate this to all your friends who are driving in Malaysia .

Obefiend Weiland,
Serve them right.... The pirate makes alot of money from someone sweat... sabotage the pirate& gangs..
Either the above two guys earn more than rm10k per month or you come from very very well of families cause for the rest of us normal guys, its not that we support the pirates but its the price of the originals which is keeping us from buying them. Imagine if u earn rm2k per mth, after paying your living expenses (loans, house rents, kids expences etc) how much do you think u have left for CDs, DVDs, etc???? Not much! Therefor the government should actually consider the above 1st before issuing fines to us average law abaiding Joes.
It think piracy is wrong. But the fines shd commensurate with the fines. RM400 for 1 cd is too much. Furthermore, there are lots of shops openly selling pirated cds and vcds in Msia; even in big shopping centres. They shd target these shops. Setting road blocks and causing traffic hazards and jams just to catch people with pirated cds seem a bit unproductive.
