“In local squatter areas, especially in Sepanggar, we are finalising several procedures because providing these prepaid meters does not mean recognising their occupation of land without grants. So, we are negotiating various factors,” he said.He said continuous monitoring and action are necessary because reconnections are often done within a short period.

Regarding frequent bursts of main pipelines, particularly in Papar, a program to replace broken pipes is actively being carried out.
