TNB: Beware of imposters

TNB has proposed a final dividend pay out of 19 sen a share to be approved by shareholders. It had earlier paid out an interim dividend of 10 sen a share.

KUALA LUMPUR: Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) has advised the public to be wary of those posing as TNB workers or contractors.

“TNB staff or contractors are obliged to wear a uniform (red T-shirt, blue jacket with logo and name) while carrying out their tasks,” public relations and internal affairs general manager Datuk Omar Sidek said in a statement.

"Inspections can only be conducted on the electricity meter. They are not allowed to make any inspection on electrical wiring inside the premises because that is beyond TNB's jurisdiction," he added.

Additionally, TNB staff are required to produce his authority card containing details including a photograph, identity card number and employee number to the premises’ owner or resident.

It was reported earlier that a man had impersonated a TNB officer to enter the house of a senior citizen and robbed the victim, on the pretext of inspecting electrical equipment.
