Me thinks that the guys over at CCK are serving some else interest, probably someone outside the country, and that we are some sort of experiment. Guys over the border are laughing at us, and have preferred a more sane approach where they have taxpayers (not donors and kind businesses) interests at heart http://sabahionline.com/en_GB/articles/hoa/articles/newsbriefs/2012/10/05/ne... Of course since CCK were treating symptoms (consumers with fake phones) of a problem(shrewd businessmen importing counterfeit phones), there is a new symptom which they are rushing to treat. The Chinese will soon innovate and bring in fake phones which are programmable. The argument was that switching the phones off would quell demand. Probably, CCK doesn't understand that many of these people are misled to purchase this phones in that they are genuine ones. Maybe a simple study on how the fake phones are sold would have helped?
