“Secondly, particularly under the electricity programme, my constituency has been facing constant blackouts and this incident would also affect the telco lines on the area.
“This is because the equipment on the towers are powered by the same line.
“I hope the government can look into this issue and maybe increase the power load to my area as there are many government as well as private projects coming into my area,” he said in his debate speech on the 2024 State Budget at the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) sitting here, on Wednesday.
