KUALA LUMPUR: It was like any ordinary toilet, right down to the stench. But it had a secret door to a storeroom where thousands of pirated DVDs were kept. When Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry officers raided a shop in Bandar Sri Permaisuri, Cheras, earlier this week, they found nothing. But in a second raid, led by enforcement division assistant chief Amer Hassan, they discovered the secret door.
Two men were seen arranging DVDs on racks when the latest raid took place on Friday. The men, aged 41 and 33, attempted to flee but were apprehended. When questioned, both said they sold the pirated discs for RM10 (S$4.137) each. Enforcement officers thoroughly searched the premises but failed to find the room where the sellers kept their stock of pirated discs. However, an officer noticed something amiss in the toilet and looked closely at the walls. He found a secret door which could only be opened with an electronic device.
Once they gained access into the secret room, the officers found more than 10,000 pirated discs of various titles, including the latest movies such as Avatar, Legion, Sherlock Holmes, Universal Soldier, and Malay and Indonesian movies. "The two men had obviously not learnt their lesson after being raided the first time and are believed to have bought a fresh supply of pirated discs," said a source. It is learned that the shop began operations a few months ago. The men were released after posting bail.
