KOTA KINABALU, May 24 — A Sabah assemblyman today called on utility companies to schedule their electricity and water rationing in high-income areas.
"Don’t select housing areas, and places where people are struggling. In the event their refrigerators, televisions, fans get damaged, those with the means can afford it. The poor have to spend a whole year’s school fees, which they have been scrimping for, just to fix them,” he said. "I say this because now city dwellers, the rich, politicians, civil officers and big people in the cities, especially rich people, politicians, government officers, towkays, can experience the darkness and water shortages just like us in Kuamut in the last few decades.
