I was like… flabbergasted when I came across the title from the local online newspaper. Like that also can.
KOTA KINABALU: Metal thieves blacked out almost the entire state of Sabah on Monday – for a mere RM40.
It is believed they removed steel pieces from a 132kV transmission tower that led to its collapse, triggering a major power blackout lasting nearly six hours from 6.41pm and affecting 300,000 consumers.
Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd managing director Baharin Din told a press conference yesterday that 20 pieces of steel holding the tower at Suang Parai area here had been removed.
Does it means that there are more vandals out there unable to earn their living but resorted to steal metal?
and I can still remember the hotline programme when they introduce it in the TGG last year.
SESB received a record 3,848 calls to its hotline number 15454 during the six-hour blackout.
Kota Kinabalu police chief Asst Comm Ahmad Sofi Zakaria said a full investigation was being carried out and they were also checking with scrap dealers to nab the culprits.
Oh well, when was the last time KL got a massive blackout?
