‘Don’t misuse Sirim certification’


PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has issued a stern warning to Android box suppliers and sellers not to misuse the Sirim certification and MCMC label to mislead the public into believing that the authorities condone any act of illegal streaming and downloading.

In a statement posted on Twitter, the Commission explained that the MCMC label and certification issued by Sirim on certain Android TV boxes are only meant to state that the WiFi and Bluetooth modules on the devices have complied with technical standards imposed by MCMC. If it discovers that sellers have misused the certifications, MCMC stated it will not hesitate to take action such as revoking the certification label on the Android boxes, and issuing a recall of all Android boxes, whether they have been sold or as still in the market.
