Tenaga Nasional Berhad owns 80 per cent of SE, while the Sabah government holds the remaining 20 per cent. Tangau noted that despite repeated appeals, the federal government has stated it cannot consider an additional budget, leaving Sabah Electricity unable to sustain operations. “There are absolutely no alternatives. This chain reaction would affect hospitals, airports, water supplies, and essential services. Security forces, the medical and healthcare system, airport operations, water supply, telecommunications, transportation systems, and the entire government service network would be left without electricity,” he added.
