Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Shafie Salleh Apdal "sounds" damn serious in cracking down on intellectual property (IP).

First, he admitted the problem.

"We have held discussions with countries like Hong Kong and some Asean countries on ways to overcome the influx of such products in this part of the region.

"We have also set up a special unit sited in important areas to overcome the problems."

Next, he defied the problem.

"To say that Malaysia is the biggest exporter of counterfeit products is wrong when there are many other countries is using it as a transit point before exporting it out."

When few little cats are charged, Lactor Loctor Ho is running away scot free and Malaysia will remain as a top producer of pirated VCDs in the world, for years to come.
