Powering up: Pulau Keniogan, a remote island off the east coast of Sabah where residents are hoping for 24-hour electricity to support daily life and livelihoods.
KOTA KINABALU: On Pulau Keniogan – a small island off the east coast of Sabah that is about an hour’s boat ride from Beluran and two hours from Sandakan – the sound of generators has long been a part of the rhythm of daily life.
For years, the island’s 1,200 residents made do with only 12 hours of electricity a day. Now, that has been extended to 18 hours – and Sabah Electricity is pushing ahead to achieve round-the-clock supply.
