THIRTY-six shop owners were shocked when they were slapped with unpaid electricity bills from Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) ranging between RM100,000 and RM500,000.

The owners, who rented out their commercial shoplots at Wangsa Maju, Semenyih and Saujana Rawang, were issued backdated bills after their respective units were raided by TNB on separate occasions since August last year, where meters were found to have been tampered with.
