The biggest power outage in Sabah yesterday was caused by a collapsed of a high-tension pylon or tower in Inanam. The tower collapsed after about 20 pieces of its supporting bar were removed or stolen by scrap metal thieves.
The tower is surrounded with jungle in a hilly area and there are many PTI or Pendatang Tampa Izin or Illegal Immigrants squatters surrounding the area. Your guess is as good as mine…
We have been promised with empty promises of getting rid of these Illegal Immigrants and until now there is no concrete action. And this is the results when the authorities are not honoring their promises. Murder, kidnapping, rape, smuggling, robbery, guns…

Common thing lah here in Sabah. All of us know already how the authority is doing their job. “Anak kera di susui, anak sendiri di biar kelaparan.”
