SAPP Youth Exco Clement Lee has put the entire blame of inconsistence supply of electricity squarely as the failure of Sabah Electricity Sendirian Berhad, known by Sabahans as SESB, even though millions Ringgit worth of grant are allocated by the UMNO led-BN government annually.
The inconsistency and the frequency of electricity black-outs in Sabah have contributed and caused lot of losses and damages to all the users of electrical appliances especially computer peripherals like UPS, mother-board, laptop battery and battery charger that add and increase the already heavy the burden and cost into the local company expenditure and household accounts. Furthermore, it would cause so much inconvenience to the users by wasting their time to make a claim to go through all the red-tape procedures if there is any.
Did you know that the UPS-es, laptop batteries and battery chargers especially the compatible ones, are the top selling and in demand items in Sabah and we top the charts too in the whole of Malaysia? This was mainly contributed by the inconsistence of power supply and power blackout provided by SESB. This chronic and long due problem seldom or rarely happen in Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia, but evident and prominent only in Sabah. Miserable, depressing and disgusting.
After 49 years of Sabah being Merdeka, the people of Sabah is still facing the most basic utility problems in such pathetic situation to a point when electricity black-out was treated as a norm and Sabahans are already growing numb over the issue.
The announcement of Sabah Corridor Development plan by UMNO led-BN government 4 years ago was merely an absurd and ridiculous out take, utterly an insult to Sabahans' intelligence, when in reality it couldn’t even solve the most rudimentary problem over such long number of years.
We have been given ample and enough of time for UMNO led-BN government to prove themselves worthy of our votes for many years but they have failed us miserably, year in year out, time and time again.
Since the Federal government has failed to solve the electricity problems for 30 years after taking over from Sabah when compares with Sarawak SESCO which is profitable and successful, under SAPP Economic Plan Manifesto for Sabah, SAPP Government intends to reverting SESB back to a state-owned entity, geared towards adequate generation and efficient distribution of electricity which is crucial to spur Sabah's economic growth. If SESCO owned by the Sarawak State Government is viable and successful, there is no valid reason that Sabah's own SESB cannot be similarly viable and successful. Furthermore, SESCO had even proposed to sell their excess electricity to SESB.
In this coming election, this is the time we, the people of Sabah stand united in supporting our local Sabah opposition party SAPP to retake the Sabahan administration from an unfit party imported from peninsular Malaysia, and once and for all reinstate Sabah's Autonomy according to and in compliance with the original Malaysia Agreement signed in 1963.
There is still HOPE yet for Sabah, if Sabah is to be governed by a local Sabahan party SAPP. When the rights to manage and regulate, the authority and opportunity to decide rest on ourselves, we would be able to decide our collective fate. The least we could say then would be, SESB need not approval nor reference from TNB.
SESB personel are just incompetent, no point in all the rhetoric about billion investment in Sabah. No one will consider this state until we get this fixed and our talented youngsters will keep on migrating, replaced by incompetent, uneducated foreigners. We pay heavily on electrical items and our rechargeable batteries can only last less than it cycles.
ReplyDeleteduring Yong Teck Lee tenure, electricity supply in this state is more worse than today.. so can you blame your chief leader?

RM380 million allocate by the Federal Gov for electricity supply in Sabah.
ReplyDeleteVillagers in Sabah who cannot afford to pay for the internal electric wiring in their respective homes can actually apply for Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd's (SESB) assistance under the Assisted Rural Wiring Scheme (ARWS).
ReplyDeleteAccording to the Regional and Rural Development Ministry, which implements the rural electric supply (BELB) programme, the ARWS provides financing for wiring amounting to RM510 per house in Sabah and those who join in the scheme can make repayment by instalment for a period of 36 months.
ReplyDeleteNevertheless, in the effort to ensure all walks of the community enjoy electricity supply, the Ministry does provide financing for the internal wiring installation cost and the power connection (collateral deposit) payment for the houses of hardcore poor families.
ReplyDeleteThe BELB scope of implementation only involves building electricity delivery line, distribution line and service line to the houses of individuals and that the home owners need to pay for the cost of internal wiring and the collateral deposit (power supply connection deposit payment) to SESB.
ReplyDeleteThey can redeem the collateral deposit once they move out or end their power supply subscription.
DeleteFrom 2010 to September 30 this year, a total of 30,108 homes in Sabah, or 79.45 per cent of the target set under the National Key Result Area (NKRA), have already been equipped with 24-hour power supply under BELB.
ReplyDeleteThe Ministry has set a target under NKRA to equip 37,897 homes in the State with electricity supply before end of this year.
ReplyDeleteThe Ministry has been allocated by the Government a total of RM1,392 million throughout the three year period, from 2010 to 2012, to achieve this target. Of this, the highest number of houses was this year involving 15,455 houses under 320 projects and involving RM382.50 million in allocation.
ReplyDeleteEvery year we heard with all the empty promises from Barisan Najis with millions allocation but the electricity supply in KK still the same as yesteryear and need no to mention about the rural area.
DeleteSESB and Musang bin tidak aman must be sacked immediately.
Last year, the Ministry's target was 8,248 homes under 100 projects and involving RM693.79 million in allocation, while in 2010 it was 14,194 homes under 170 projects and RM315.63 million in allocation.
ReplyDeleteThe Ministry said the implementation of all these BELB projects would result in electricity supply coverage in Sabah increasing to 87.9 per cent at end of this year, from 77.0 per cent in 2010.
ReplyDeleteIan Cooper, are you using your dick to think?
DeletePeople of Sabah are only want to see result but not your bullshits!
UMNO is simply incompetence. Musang bin tidak aman is sleeping in his jobs for the past 9 years and has proven is the most incompetence, most corrupted, WORST CM in Sabah history.
ReplyDeleteSabah Electricty Sdn Bhd (SESB) terpaksa melaksanakan Pengurusan Beban Pengguna (DSM) terhadap pengguna-pengguna kuasa besar (LPC) sejak hari Isnin yang lalu.
ReplyDeleteMenurut Pengurus Besar Kanan (Pengurusan Aset) SESB, Ir Ahmad Fuad Md Kasim, pelaksanaan DSM ini hanya akan dilaksanakan pada waktu beban puncak sahaja dan tidak melibatkan hampir 475,000 pengguna domestik dan komersil di seluruh negeri Sabah dan Wilayah Persekutuan Labuan.

DeleteBeliau berkata, langkah itu amat kritikal bagi memastikan kestabilan Sistem Rangkaian Grid Sabah dan WP Labuan setelah beberapa stesen janakuasa milik SESB dilaporkan mengalami kerosakan dan memerlukan sedikit masa bagi melaksanakan kerja-kerja senggaraan kritikal sebelum dapat menjana semula bekalan elektrik.
Delete“Beberapa Stesen Janakuasa Bebas (IPP) juga terpaksa dihenti-tugas buat sementara waktu bagi memudahkan kerja-kerja senggaraan dan pemeriksaan oleh pihak DOSH,” katanya.
Sementara itu, beliau berkata keupayaan Stesen Janakuasa Hidro Tenom Pangi (SJHTP) milik SESB yang sebelum ini boleh menjana sehingga 66MW tenaga elektrik sehari juga telah terjejas selepas air sungai yang meningkat secara mendadak.

DeleteKatanya, stesen janakuasa hidro tunggal di negeri Sabah itu juga tidak dapat beroperasi pada kapasiti maksima kerana kepentingannya dalam membantu mengalihkan dengan pantas air sungai yang deras bagi mengelakkan kejadian banjir di kawasan hulu.
Ahmad Fuad berkata, kerja-kerja henti-tugas dan pemeriksaan oleh pihak DOSH serta masalah peningkatan air sungai itu juga telah mengakibatkan SESB kehilangan sebanyak 144MW daripada kapasiti penjanaan sedia ada.

DeleteTambahnya, pengaktifan Demand Side Management (DSM) dalam pengendalian permintaan bekalan elektrik di Sabah diyakini akan memberi impak positif terhadap kestabilan bekalan elektrik sedia ada.
Delete“Semua syarikat LPC yang terlibat (dengan DSM) ini telahpun dimaklumkan mengenai keperluan mengaktifkan DSM ke premis mereka dan tempoh DSM ini bergantung kepada keperluan ‘spinning reserve’ bagi mengekalkan keutuhan sistem Sistem Rangkaian Grid Sabah dan WP Labuan.
“DSM terhadap syarikat-syarikat LPC ini perlu dilaksanakan pada beban puncak memandangkan kapasiti janaan sedia ada tidak dapat menampung permintaan bekalan elektrik yang semakin meningkat setiap hari,” katanya.
DeleteSetakat ini, katanya, permintaan tertinggi pada beban puncak yang pernah direkodkan telahpun menjangkau 830MW sehari pada 28 Jun 2011.
