“The bills which were not paid were issued during the previous administration and since MAPS was taken over by the bank, it caused TNB to take immediate action to cut the power supply,” he told a press conference after launching the sales of Rumah Perakku housing project here. Ahmad Faizal said the current government could not afford to pay the debts left by the previous administration, including the electricity bills, which amounts to about RM4 million.
“We are discussing with various parties to solve all the problems in MAPS. However, I can’t reveal anything on this matter at the moment,” he said.
