KOTA KINABALU: Sepanggar member of parliament Datuk Azis Hamman today urged Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd (SESB) to reconsider its decision to disconnect the power supply of 1Borneo Hypermall for the sake of people working there.
“The people’s interest must come first,” said the Parti Warisan Sabah Wira chief.
“In this case, it is the workers employed in the various outlets who stand to lose the most.
“Shutting down the electricity supply will force the shops to close and their workers will lose their jobs.
“I want to help and I am willing to be a mediator so we can sit down and find a solution.”
SESB recently stated that it would cut off power to 1Borneo Hypermall tomorrow if the shopping mall’s arrears of RM9.3 million was not settled today.
However, the power utility provider’s asset management general manager, Mohd Yaakob Jaafar said SESB had given the hypermall’s management more than enough time to pay up.
