What is the total value of seized electronic devices and Quran copies?

Question

Accepted Answer

Total Value of Seized Items Reaches RM61,890

The Home Ministry (KDN) has seized electronic devices and electronic copies of the Quran with a total value of RM61,890. The operation, which involved enforcement officers from KDN's Putrajaya headquarters and its Terengganu office, took place at 9:30 am. A man in his 30s, believed to be the owner of the premises, was arrested to assist with investigations.
Items Confiscated During the Raid

During the raid, a significant quantity of electronic storage devices and media players were confiscated. These included 28 memory cards containing 12,041 films, 12 USB sticks loaded with 12,000 films, a laptop, and a hard drive holding 2,000 films. Additionally, 25 video players were seized as part of the operation.
Lack of Required Permits

A key finding during the enforcement action was that all the seized items lacked the necessary legal documentation. Specifically, the electronic copies of the Quran and films did not possess a Certificate B under the Film Censorship Act 2002. Furthermore, they did not have a permit from the Quran Printing, Licencing and Control Board (LPPPQ).
Location and Context of the Seizure

The enforcement action was conducted at a commercial building located in Kampung Seberang Takir, near Kuala Terengganu. The operation followed several days of monitoring an e-commerce platform suspected of distributing these unapproved items. The seizure underscores the ministry's efforts to control the distribution of sensitive digital content.
