PKR: TNB the culprit if Klang Valley power disrupts

Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) will be the real culprit if there is a power disruption in Klang Valley, PKR says.

This is because the government-linked company insists on building its 275KV high tension transmission towers through Kampung Sungai Terentang in Rawang, which is delaying the Central Reinforcement Area (CAR) project.

"Our answer is that the delay is caused by TNB itself for insisting on CAR going through Kampung Sungai Kerentang," PKR treasurer-general William Leong (right) told a press conference today.

Leong was responding to the statement made by TNB vice-president Rozimi Remeli yesterday.

Bernama quoted Rozimi as saying that Selangor and Kuala Lumpur would face a power crisis if the state continues to put the brakes on the company's CAR project.
