Getting SESB, Sabah energy commission back a must | Daily Express Online - Sabah's Leading News PortalBrief history of Sabah’s energy woes. Sabah owned SESB which, to our shame, was badly managed. Power failures, brown outs and shutdowns were a daily affair, Sandakan and Tawau suffered worst. Power theft was widespread too. These have created chaos and stunted Sabah’s economic development. Businesses, especially SMEs, suffered massively. Impossible for industries. Apart from mismanagement, SESB suffered from price increases in diesel which was then its main fuel by Petronas. To stamp the financial bleedings, Sabah sold SESB to TNB. Blame who? Sabahan political leaders for having allowed bad management and failure to secure an equitable supply of diesel at an affordable price from Petronas. After all, the petroleum was pumped from our territory. It is ours in the first place. Such was the sorry tales of Sabah’s weak economic leadership. Admittedly, SESB under TNB has improved. However, its performance has not been entirely satisfactory, its failure to produce sufficient power for Sabah’s industrialization up to now. Power disruptions are still common in the East Coast. Looking into the future, Hajiji’s vision for Sabah and his unparallel success in attracting domestic investments and FDI, SESB under TNB cannot be relied on to cater for Sabah’s long-term power requirements. Sabah must “take the bull by the horns” or else Sabah will be left behind further. Hence the significance of Hajiji’s combined strategy in oil/gas, reacquiring SESB and the formation of Sabah Energy Commission.  Hajiji’s next strategic moves: Take back SESB and formation of SESB.  Hajiji has announced that the Sabah government will take action to form Sabah Energy Commission and to reacquire SESB on 26th August 2022. These two are the next stage of his strategy
