KUALA LUMPUR, November 18 – Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) has made preparations to ensure that the electricity supply in all 6623 Voting Centers and 165 Official Vote Totaling Centers throughout the Peninsula is in good condition on the day of voting for the 15th General Election (GE 15), 19 This November. At the same time, TNB asked for the cooperation of all concerned parties to refrain from digging the ground on that day in an effort to reduce the risk of touching electric cables, thereby avoiding the possibility of power supply interruptions due to cable damage.
According to TNB’s Chief Distribution Network Officer, Wan Nazmy Wan Mahmood, TNB itself postponed such works from November 16 while focusing on ensuring supply stability throughout GE 15, especially on the eve of the election results.”Our advice is to postpone the dredging work first and if it cannot be avoided, follow all the procedures and procedures set so that we can both reduce the risk of disruption. TNB has already made preliminary preparations in an effort to ensure that the technical, operational and standby aspects of electricity supply to those locations are always guaranteed.
We have also deployed task forces to monitor and stand by for these important locations,” he said. According to Wan Nazmy, TNB has sought the cooperation of the Malaysian Election Commission (SPR), Public Works Department (JKR) and Local Authorities (PBT) in each state to obtain detailed feedback on electricity requirements at all polling stations and the tallying of votes. From there, we have already taken the necessary steps. God willing, everything will be under control,” he added.
