Excavation work led to electricity outage in northern Sarawak, says SEB

KUCHING: A power outage that affected parts of Lawas in northern Sarawak last week was caused by damaged cables from excavation work by a contractor, says Sarawak Energy Bhd (SEB).

It said the excavation on March 28 damaged three underground cables along Jalan Lawas-Damit, disrupting power supply to New Lawas Centre, Taman Kaya Indah, Limpaki, Long Tuma, Natad Musu, Tang Itong, Pa Kepulu and surrounding areas.
