Premises affected by blackout due to protest


The sub-station in Miri is being barricaded by villagers who are involved in a land dispute with Sarawak Energy Bhd. — Stephen Then/The Star

MIRI: Its a case of a land-dispute protest that has gone too far. It took more than four hours, a police report plus a police escort just to repair a blackout - all because of a blockade by protestors.

And Sarawak Energy Bhd (SEB) is not amused as the incident that happened last Friday resulted in losses and inconvenience to people in more than 20,000 premises.
