ReplyDeleteThis is one of the good news in Sabah.
DeleteSince Tawau records the highest amount of power thefts thus the enforcement should be aggressively done in this area.
DeleteAgree with Unknown, the authorities should monitor the power theft more strictly to prevent it from occurring.
DeleteThe facilities can send out 760,000 tonnes per annum, surely that could help bring a significant improvement to the electricity shortage problems in Sabah.
