MIRI: Sarawak Energy Berhad (SEB) must be held responsible for the frequent power outages in Miri, said Miri MP Dr Teo Yu Keng yesterday.

He added that the problem had caused major headaches for city folks, especially those in the business sector.

“Sarawak Energy must be responsible (for the blackouts) and don’t past the problem to everybody else, not even to the weather,” said Dr Teo when commenting on the power outage here on Sunday.

Dr Teo said the people were fuming as such a problem was happening too frequently.

In places such as South Korea and Japan, he said, the person-in-charge would take responsibility for such problems and even resign.

Dr Teo also slammed SEB for not manning its hotline 652020 properly.

“Many members of the public called the hotline to enquire about the blackout (yesterday), but nobody picked up the phone.

“I will write to Sarawak Energy and demand that the matter be dealt with accordingly as it is disrupting lives and businesses.”
