Fake state

Malaysia has many ports. Those ports can generate more revenue to the country by bringing in better and high quality products and income therefrom. Branded items are the central issue here. Households products, raw materials for construction works and industry, food and edible oils, petroleum etc. are all imported items which are of high quality which must be traded with high quality exports from Malaysia.
My question is that why do we have too many people selling more fake and refurbished items in our country? For example I have seen many people choose to buy AAA standard Rolex and LV watches. They are really attracted to fake items. It is not to mention here that a refurbished car is a fake car but the standard and warranty of the products have varied as to the quality and status even when the embossed brand is still intact.
I have bought an iPhone 6 before. The seller said it was a genuine one much cheaper than buying from a KLCC outlet. Reason being the rental in KLCC was very dear. The seller said so.
Unfortunately when I wanted to sell it off for one "noble" reason (i.e. to find a cheaper car for a friend) the price has dropped from initial RM1,600/- to sheer RM280/- due to its re-furbished origin. And it happenned the same seller told me that whom I approached to find a buyer for me. If it were to be a "genuine one from KLCC outlet", the re-selling price after 1 year of use should be RM1,800 (Original genuine original price was RM4.5k).
I have come across all these technical jargons which are so dumb throughout the years (before PH came into power) and I am still seeing the fake products are still controlling the majority of our households market.
When we want to have a high quality product it must be with expensive price. I was told if I did not have money I must just buy made-in China products and it served me right because I did not have the money (RM 1,800 for a Samsung Edge smartphone). The seller who said that was a snobbish Chinese Malaysian lady (I am not a racist here I am talking about an example how people look down on me no matter what are their race by them standardising/ equalling me to a low quality product from China.)
I guess a China is cheaper and of high quality than those cements imported from a particular country.
I have started thinking the right way all this while noting the fact that people go travel overseas just to buy a genuine Burkin. I understand that.
But people come to Malaysia to bring in fake products (of AAA standards) and majority of us buy those AAAs.
Simple majority is 51%.
Imagine if 2/3 majority of


them are trading AAAs and the buyers are like 99.999% attracted to fake and not branded kinds of products which are not having values. They just love a brand ; a famous brand but the quality and status are not synanymous with the real brand.
Do we need more ports or airports to bring in more AAA products?
