You really have to read this report:-
Thieves leave area with no electricity
WE refer to the article under the heading 'Dream homes turn into nightmare' which appeared in StarMetro on Dec 27, 2007.
Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) would like to inform homeowners that the electricity supply to the housing area could not be supplied because TNB gadgets and cables in the area were stolen.
These items were stolen because there was no security at the area.
To prevent the theft from happening again, TNB, after holding discussions with the local council and residents committee, agreed that electricity supply would be connected only when residents move into their homes.
Based on the information provided by a representative of the residents committee last month, the owners have yet to move into their homes.
We urge TNB customers to call or SMS their complaints to 15454 should they encounter any problems with our service.

Found the above statement by TNB Selangor appalling. How are the residents going to move in when electricity is not connected? But on the other hand, if TNB was to re-connect the housing area and residents delayed their moves, the thieves would ransack the whole area again.
This is really another chicken and egg situation. In this case, who should do what first? Pity the homeowners in the first place as some could be financially strapped due to payment for two houses at the same time (be it housing loans or rentals).

one of the sad things in our country
TNB should come up with some security countermeasures and not reconnect the electricity only when residents move in. Cables and TNB gadgets are the responsibility of TNB, not the residents...no??
the residents shldn't be burdened to shift in first prior to tnb's installation. whether there are people or not, if there's a certificate of fitness issued, electricity shld have been there regardless whether people intend to move there or not.
