Chamber raps SESB for shortage in S'kan

Published on: Thursday, April 30, 2009

Sandakan: The Sandakan Chinese Chamber of Commerce took the Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd (SESB) to task for the power shortage affecting the district.

Its secretary, Stephen Wong Tien Fatt said that it was hard to accept the reason for the shortage, which according to SESB is due to critical maintenance works at several power stations.

He also express disappointment on the power rationing schedule, which he said was only release two weeks after the power disruptions here.

He said SESB should know that power generators will eventually have problems working and such as SESB should have taken early steps to address it, adding that the generator malfunction is not an excuse not to supply sufficient power to the district.
