On the balance of probabilities tampering at the meter-installation was established by circumstantial and technical evidence, but the defendant's disconnection was unlawful because the tampering had been rectified prior to disconnection and the disconnection was used to coerce payment of an unfiled claim; aggravated damages were inappropriate for a corporate plaintiff but exemplary damages were warranted for the defendant's oppressive and inequitable conduct, meriting an award of MYR40,000 plus costs of MYR30,000.
