A letter to Sarawak Energy

The director

Sarawak SESCO Berhad

Dear Sir,

Appeal for the security box for Electricity Meter  and Lowering Tariff Rates

On behalf of the people in Sibu or elsewhere in Sarawak, I appeal for the security box for every electricity meter so that only the SESCO technicians have the access to the box.  Thus the problem of electricity meters being tampered / sabotaged will be resolved once and for all.  Please be reminded that the SESCO Sarawak Berhad should bear the cost of the security box, not us, consumers.  The current electricity meters are not protected at all.  In other words, they are installed at shop-owners’ own risk.  It is very unfair to them when something happened to the electricity meter and they have to bear the cost of damage.

2.  Since Sarawak is an oil producing states and we also have Bakun Hydroelectricity Dam and another dam in operation, we are definitely eligible for lower electricity tariff rates for different sectors.  This is another viable way to prevent the people especially the business operators from resorting to do something to reduce the charges.  These natural resources belong to every Sarawakian but it seems to me that they only benefit a few based on my knowledge what is being reported in Report Sarawak (How Corruption Filters Down – Dirty Deals At Sarawak Energy).   Please be more people-minded and -centred to sustain.  Never make people feel exploited / plundered.

3.  Paying the chief executive officer (CEO) RM100,000 a month, do you think that it is relevant based on the general income-level of the people in Sarawak?  Why can’t we have as efficient and good local CEO to be paid RM20,000 a month to do the job?   Paying such a high salary to the CEO means that SESCO needs to find ways to make do the payment. 

Thank you for your attention.

Yours faithfully,
