Just like a dangerous thief who comes to rob your house in the night, a fire can rob your life, the life of your loved ones or at the very least rob you of your property, in the blink of an eye! In Malaysia, a faulty electrical source is one of the major causes of home fires

Recently, Hong Kong?s Electrical and Mechanical Services Department issued a statement urging the public to stop using five multiway extension leads models.

You might be wondering, tu dekat Hong Kong, apesal this is important to us Malaysians? Well, these five models are actually available for purchase online in Malaysia for really cheap!

According to the statement, the five models do not have the required safety features. To be specific, the wires used in these models are too thin. Yes, model extension cord ni macam model.. terlampau kurus.

You see, when the wires are too thin for the current requirement of your electronic gadgets, the wires will start to overheat. Kiranya, wire tu stress la korang paksa dia buat banyak sangat kerja. Member dah panas, lama lama dia terbakar.

Here?s the list of the five multiway extension lead units that you need to stay clear of:

#1

Brand: Remax
Model: RU- S4

#2

Brand: LDNIO
Model: SC3301

#3

Brand: LDNIO
Model: SC3604

#4

Brand: No brand
Model: ZGN-T06

#5

Brand: No brand
Model: ZGN-T08

On top of thin wires, the LDNIO and unbranded multiway extension lead units don?t have a built-in safety fuse either. Which means, if an overcurrent happens while you have your expensive iPhone XS plugged in charging, terbakar la telefon kau.

There?s nothing wrong with looking for a cheaper alternative when buying things whether online or IRL. Just make sure the item is safe for use and SIRIM approved! And if you are by chance using any of these products, throw them in the trash STAT! It's not worth it bro..
