KOTA KINABALU: The public can play its part by helping utility company Sabah Electric Sdn Bhd (SESB) deal with the rampant cable theft problem in the state, says the Sabah West Coast Smart Consumers Association.
Its president David Chan said it would be difficult for the authorities to eliminate the problem, which has affected the state’s electricity supply, without support and help from the public.
"In this issue, the public needs to be the eyes and ears of the SESB and the authorities,” he said in a statement on Monday . "We hope this issue is given serious attention non-governmental organisations and community leaders," he added.Cable thefts have been a persistent problem in Sabah despite the authorities' best efforts.
He said SESB's technical team had found damage to the 33kV line caused by an attempt to remove and steal the cable.Chan said the attempted theft had caused hardship to numerous parties as it might take several days to a week to restore supply.
