20 squatter areas in Tawau involved in illegal power connection: SESB
TAWAU Mac 28, 2012: Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd (SESB) identified 20 squatter areas here which are actively involved in illegal electricity connection, its senior general manager (asset management) Ahmad Fuad Md Kasim said.
One of the areas is located near the Water Department’s pump station, involving 50 houses.
During a recent operation in the area, held in collaboration with the Water Department, he said, they seized nearly 20kg of miscellaneous cables used to make connections to SESB’s overhead lines.
“Apart from affecting the power supply, illegal connections can cause electrocution to the perpetrators and members of the public,” he said in a statement.
He called on the public to inform SESB if they came across people carrying out illegal power connections.

Streetlights, sub-stations hit by rampant theft, vandalism
City Hall has asked Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd (SESB) and the police to assist them to put a stop to the rampant theft of streetlight control panels and electricity cables in SESB sub-stations in the city.
The call was made following the discovery of vandalism and thefts at five locations in just two weeks.
The missing cables from the sub-station and street light control panels have not only caused blackouts on protocol roads, starting from Jalan Tun Fuad Stephen, Tanjung Lipat to Jalan UMS and Jalan Sepanggar but also financial losses to the City Hall and SESB.
Good job to the SESB for successfully identified yet another illegal power connection. I hope they can come up with a good solution to prevent this sort of illegal connection from happening again as this will cause inconvenience to the power consumers.
BalasPadamYa usaha yang baik dan sebolehnya SESB pun harus lebih kerahkan usaha lagi bagi membanteras hal ini daripada berlaku.
PadamInvestigate why these happen and action must be taken against such illegal activity.
PadamMore spot checks by the SESB is needed in order to find out if there is anymore power theft in the state. It can also discourage this sort of illegal activities from occurring. Perhaps a heavy fine or strict actions should be taken against them.
BalasPadamdiharap SESB kerap membuat checking untuk mengelak kejadian seperti kerap berlaku.
PadamInilah yang menyebabkan kerugian kepada SESB dan gangguan elektrik yang sering dihadapi oleh rakyat.
BalasPadamBikin meradang saja. Orang lain suka hati mencuri tapi rakyat yang membayar elektrik yang menanggung beban. Kalau dapat ditangkap pencuri ini, bagi hukuman kaw2. Biar dia jera.
PadamYa. Disebabkan golongan yang tak bertanggungjawab ini, semua pihak pun terlibat sama. Bikin panas.
PadamKegiatan penyambungan elektrik secara haram ni memang sering berlaku di kawasan setinggan. Jadi lebih baik pihak berkuasa merobohkan saja rumah2 setinggan tersebut.
BalasPadamTidak hairan jika kesalahan ini dilakukan oleh PATI. Bukan prejudis namun kenyataan.
BalasPadamYa macam di Sandakan. Ada saja pati yang curi elektrik.
PadamBaguslah SESB rajin buat pemantauan. Ini penting supaya adail bagi pengguna yang tiap bulan bayar bil.
BalasPadamSESB yang harus menjalankan tugas untuk memastikan kesemua bekalan mencukupi dan kadar juga berpatutan.
PadamHarap perkara ini dapat dielakkan daripada berpanjangan. Pastikan hukuman berat dikenakan sebagai pengajaran kepada 'pencuri elektrik'.
BalasPadamPasti menyebabkan gangguan elektrik.
BalasPadamPihak yang bertanggung jawab harus selalu memantau aktiviti sebegini.
BalasPadampencuri2 elektrik ini harus dikenakan tindakan, SESB byk mengalami kerugian kerana mereka.
BalasPadamJika tindakan tidak diambil, masalah ini akan berlanjutan dan diekori.
PadamPihak yang tidak bertanggung jawab harus diambil tindkan.
BalasPadamDenda dan kalau buat lagi kasi penjara saja.

BalasPadamLangkah pencegahan harus dijalankan.
Penyambungan wayar yang tidak betul sangat merbahaya.
BalasPadamSESB harus selesaikan masalah ini secepat mungkin supaya golongan ini dikenakan hukuman juga.
BalasPadamKerja pencegahan harus dibuat juga.
BalasPadamJust charge penalties for such illegal activities.
BalasPadamJadi SESB jangan biarkan perkara ini berterusan. Perlu ditangani kes pencurian elektrik ini.
