SEVEN years after poles, transmission lines and a substation were put in place in Kg Sogoh, Kota Belud, rural folk can finally have electricity supply extended to their homes.

A Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd spokesman said its staff in the district could begin accepting applications from residents in Kg Sogoh, as well as those living in another village nearby. “So far, no meters have been installed at either of these villages,” he said. This substation built seven years ago has finally been energised.

HARBINDER claimed that cables were erected and connections were made to several premises in this part of Kota Belud “years ago”.“I have enquired with SESB about this problem but, so far, have yet to receive a satisfactory response as to why the poles and overhead lines were put up in the first place,” he said.Harbinder said many of those living in the village had to depend on a generator to get by.

The spokesman said SESB had been unable to assume responsibility for the electrical amenities from the Ministry because the Project still had not been finished.The spokesman said the company wrote to the Ministry towards the end of 2023, requesting an update on the status of the Project. “We were made to understand, at that stage, that about 80 per cent of the Project had been completed.
