Our house nearly got on fire last Sunday. This is due to TNB meter spark fires and the meter itself was on fire. It was burnt out and produce fires and some of the fires caught my kids shoes and that makes things worse. So fire was on the floor as well as on the meter itself and nearly reach the porch ceiling. According to my brother who is one of the engineer in TNB, there are many such cases in Bangi and Puchong and even his friends got his house on fire because of that. Like our case, if the thing happen during night time, the house will definitely got on fire and nothing can be save and may be our lifes coz we are all fast asleep. Bomba only arrives 15 minutes after the incident. What can we expect then?In Bangi there are many cases and in BP10 alone so far I know 5 cases but ours is the worse. According to my brother, in Bangi and Puchong the installation of TNB meter is not done by TNB contractors but developer's contractors. And guess what? Who are their workers? Foreign workers. Mind you all, those are not professionals foreign workers but indons, banglas etc with no qualification. For a malaysian to be a chargeman, he must get a licence, but the indons??banglas??? Fair enough?
And we found out our developer did not install the meter according to specification and worse case, they did not even put screw on it and this according to my brother who is TNB engineer, is very dangerous coz it will cause loose contact and slowly it will heat and slowly it will spark fires. We are lucky if we hear the buzzzy noisy from the meter but what if we are "deaf" enough to hear anything?
I think we need to do something to avoid this case from happening again not only to our neighbourhood but to all other Malaysians. We with other residence in Bangi, take few cases as prima facie should lodge a complain to TNB to take action on this matter. We can hire a very good lawyer, Karam Singh Walia hehe..
Victims never try to find out the root problems. We need to figure out the root problem, why this thing happen, the cause of fires, whose fault, etc. Victims normally will blame on TNB meter, but will TNB approved something if it is not save for the public? And why lately, many houses was caught on fire when there was lightning? My elder brother house was one of the victim and loss RM50K. I heard the blue roof house in Jalan BP10/12, lightning has caused the whole block blackout and damage most of the electrical goods in the house. Earthing cable got stolen from the substation may be. I think an action should be taken now to prevent worse case to happen in the future
ANother factor that can cause spark is inconsistency of power supply. This happen to other taman as well especially areas still under construction like BP10. This problem will cause damage to household electrical goods as well.
