01:00He is a resident of Xuezhou Pudong.
01:03Due to the delay in the electricity bill and the illegal mining activity involving Bitcoin, he owes a $196,000 bill.
01:11He later found out that his ID card was stolen and signed a lease agreement.
01:17Well, since you know your ID card was stolen, why don't you go to Guoneng to file a complaint?
01:22It's not that simple.
01:24The housewife said that after she told Guoneng everything, Guoneng asked her to pay the electricity bill of almost $200,000.
01:33She was quite dumbfounded.
01:35In the end, she had to spend $30,000 to hire a lawyer to file a legal suit.
01:40She said that she had never signed any lease agreements, and she had never even been to that place.
01:47Now she has to pay a huge debt for no reason.
01:50It's really a disaster.
01:52The experience of this housewife is actually just one of the cases.
01:56There is another housewife, Mr. Zhang, who revealed at the press conference that she received a text message from Guoneng in November last year.
02:04She said that her rental house was suspicious, but she tried to contact the tenant but did not get any response.
02:11So she immediately went to the rental house to check.
02:14Unexpectedly, there were already empty.
02:18What's worse is that she received a letter from Guoneng a month later, asking her to pay a bill of more than $330,000.
02:26Mr. Zhang said that later, according to the car license plate number of the tenant, he tracked down the current address of the tenant.
02:32However, he found that the identity information of the tenant and the lease agreement were not the same.
02:37This is why it is suspected that someone used someone else's identity to sign the lease agreement and carry out illegal activities.
02:43Mr. Zhang said that he was a disabled person, so he did not confront the other party at the moment.
02:48But after this incident, he never dared to rent that house again.
02:52Now, without the only source of income, he has to repay Guoneng's $330,000, which makes him feel really helpless.
03:00The identity was stolen and owed a lot of electricity bills.
03:03Who should be responsible now?
03:06Some victims said that they had clearly told Guoneng that they had not involved in any illegal activities.
03:12However, Guoneng continued to send them money-lending letters.
03:15Some officials even searched his rental house and uploaded the whole process to TikTok.
03:22Therefore, the victims hoped that the government and Guoneng could give appropriate compromise and support to help them reduce losses.
03:29For this matter, the MP Li Jiancong criticized that Guoneng, as the only power supplier in Malaysia,
03:37even when the matter was not clearly investigated,
03:40he complained to the innocent people about the so-called electricity bill compensation.
03:45He reminded Guoneng not to take the attitude of running away in this matter,
03:49and not to take the reason of being incapable or unrelated to them as a reason to escape from the responsibility they should bear.
03:55At the same time, Li Jiancong also suggested that the cabinet amend the Electricity Supply Act
04:00to clarify the common responsibility of the owner and the tenant on the use of electricity,
04:05and to ensure the rights of the owner and the tenant.
