SESB’s irregular blackouts in Sandakan is appalling and causing a lot of disruptions to our daily lives.
If SESB really ‘CARE’ about Sandakan folks and are considerate, they would have tried to minimize the disruptions by at least:

STICK TO their advanced notice (if published);
-
have NO blackout in business areas during day time/business hours, and NO blackout in residential areas during evening and night;
-
have a fair blackout schedule for the WHOLE of Sabah, not let it happen to only Sandakan/Tawau/East Coast.
Many have observed that for the first 2 weeks of August, there was NO blackout in many areas in Kota Kinabalu/West Coast at all, but by contrast, there were DAILY blackouts almost everywhere in the East Coast.
