國中部的加密貨幣挖礦讓馬來西亞損失1.03億林吉特，當局加強打擊力道

根據星報，與非法加密貨幣挖礦相關的電力盜竊行為正以驚人的速度蔓延，光是今年就給TNB 的財務狀況造成了1.03 億林吉特的損失，馬來西亞刑事調查局的Suhai Rizain 報道稱。

Illicit crypto mining activities have taken a toll on Malaysia's energy sector, with electricity theft linked to these operations putting a significant strain on the national grid and finances. According to The Star, losses incurred by Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) due to illicit Bitcoin mining have been on a concerning upward trajectory since 2020.

非法加密貨幣挖礦活動對馬來西亞能源部門造成了影響，與這些活動相關的竊電行為給國家電網和財政帶來了巨大壓力。根據《星報》報道，自 2020 年以來，國家能源有限公司（TNB）因非法比特幣挖礦而遭受的損失一直呈上升趨勢，令人擔憂。

In a recent statement, Suhai Rizain, Assistant Director of the Criminal Investigation Department, highlighted these escalating losses, with a relatively small loss of RM5.9 million reported by TNB in 2020. This loss then surged to RM140.4 million in 2021, followed by RM124.9 million in 2022, and an additional RM67.1 million last year, highlighting a persistent issue impacting the nation's energy infrastructure.

刑事調查部助理總監Suhai Rizain 在最近的一份聲明中強調了這些不斷升級的損失，國能在2020 年報告的損失相對較小，為590 萬令吉。令吉，隨後2022 年增加 1.249 億令吉，去年增加 6,710 萬令吉，突顯了影響國家能源基礎設施的一個持續存在的問題。

In July, TNB reported an estimated $755 million in losses due to illegal Bitcoin mining activities from 2018 to 2023. While Bitcoin mining operations account for only a small percentage of Malaysia's overall energy consumption, Deputy Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation Akmal Nasir noted that the financial implications are substantial.

今年7 月，TNB 報告稱，從2018 年到2023 年，非法比特幣挖礦活動造成了約7.55 億美元的損失。轉型和水轉型部副部長Akmal Nasir 指出：財務影響是巨大的。

Highlighting the illicit nature of these operations, Nasir explained that they place a heavy burden on the electricity grid, driving up costs as a result of the unauthorized electricity usage. These operations ultimately siphon off energy resources without contributing to the national grid.

納西爾強調了這些操作的非法性質，他解釋說，它們給電網帶來了沉重的負擔，未經授權的用電導致成本上升。這些操作最終會消耗能源，而不會對國家電網做出貢獻。

In response to these activities, authorities have stepped up their efforts, recently seizing electrical equipment valued at nearly $500,000 that was linked to illicit mining setups. Additionally, a clampdown on tax evasion in digital assets has been initiated to curb further losses.

為了因應這些活動，當局加大了力度，最近查獲了價值近 50 萬美元的與非法採礦設施有關的電氣設備。此外，也開始打擊數位資產逃稅，以遏制進一步的損失。

Following the discovery of substantial revenue leakage from unreported trading profits in digital assets, the Malaysian Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) launched "Ops Token" this year to identify and apprehend crypto tax evaders.

在發現數位資產未報告的交易利潤造成大量收入洩漏後，馬來西亞稅務局（LHDN）今年推出了“Ops Token”，以識別和逮捕加密貨幣逃稅者。

The Criminal Investigation Department is set to delve deeper into the factors driving the sharp increase in losses over the past two years. Unauthorized Bitcoin mining operations typically involve diverting electricity to power high-output computers that engage in processing complex algorithms for generating digital assets. This activity comes at the expense of the national power grid.

刑事調查部門將深入調查導致過去兩年損失急劇增加的因素。未經授權的比特幣挖礦作業通常涉及轉移電力為高輸出電腦供電，這些電腦負責處理複雜的演算法以產生數位資產。這項活動是以犧牲國家電網為代價的。

As these illicit miners do not pay for the energy they siphon off, their activities place a significant strain on the country's resources. Digital assets are generated through a process that requires immense computing power and energy consumption.

由於這些非法採礦者不為他們吸收的能源付費，他們的活動給該國的資源帶來了巨大壓力。數位資產的產生過程需要龐大的運算能力和能源消耗。

In a recent Forbes report, Malaysia's regulatory and enforcement approach to cryptocurrencies is examined. While digital assets are not recognized as legal tender under Malaysia's Central Bank Act, they are classified as securities under the Capital Markets and Services Order, granting them a defined legal status within the financial regulatory framework.

在《富比士》最近的一份報告中，審查了馬來西亞對加密貨幣的監管和執法方法。雖然根據馬來西亞中央銀行法，數位資產不被視為法定貨幣，但根據資本市場和服務令，它們被歸類為證券，從而在金融監管框架內賦予其明確的法律地位。

Within government circles, there have been calls for a progressive approach. Notably, in 2022, Communications Deputy Minister Zahidi Zainul Abidin urged the government to recognize Bitcoin and other digital currencies as legal tender, as reported by Bloomberg.

在政府內部，有人呼籲採取漸進的做法。值得注意的是，根據彭博社報道，通訊部副部長 Zahidi Zainul Abidin 敦促政府在 2022 年承認比特幣和其他數位貨幣為法定貨幣。

On the religious front, digital assets have been recognized as genuine property by Malaysia's Shariah Advisory Council, bolstering their legitimacy within the nation's Islamic community, according to research from the Journal of Fatwa and Falak Selangor.

根據《追殺令》雜誌和雪蘭莪法拉克雜誌的研究，在宗教方面，數位資產已被馬來西亞伊斯蘭教法諮詢委員會視為真正的財產，從而增強了其在該國伊斯蘭社區中的合法性。

Oversight of cryptocurrency mining activities is carried out by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), the country's central bank, in collaboration with the Securities Commission Malaysia. Cryptocurrency mining is legal in Malaysia, but unauthorized electricity usage is strictly monitored.

加密貨幣挖礦活動的監督由馬來西亞中央銀行馬來西亞國家銀行（BNM）與馬來西亞證券委員會合作進行。加密貨幣開採在馬來西亞是合法的，但未經授權的用電受到嚴格監控。
