My house was caught in fire 3 days ago because of newly install TNB meter. Luckily there was no one injuired in this incident and only my shoe rack were burn completely,heavy duty tiles are crack, my ceiling turns black, fortunately I didn't park my car near there but I am really really angry and frustrated with TNB and contractor "Tai Chi" style working attitude. First this TNB blame us of overloading the meter. Come on lah...my husband and I were not around. Nobody was in the house. How to overload?

Then wireman contractor saying that not his fault, definitely can ask TNB for compensation. What he did? He took some photos, collect evidence and so on.....

Then he ask TNB come to discuss with us. You know what the TNB guy saying?
He said it caused by internal problem 'malapetaka' or is 'natural disaster'.
"The spark came from the TNB meter ..but... because of the shoe rack underneath then cause the fire happen." Then the contractor added:"might because of some papers and other flammable material putting on top of the rack."

Their negligence is jeopardizing our safety.

Thanks for concerning. We will write a letter to TNB and our contractor, the spark started from the meter box. But I think we will loose since the TNB guy just came to look see look see and claim it's not their fault. He said we can claim but taking longer time. But we don't care, we will keep on pressuring the contractor and TNB.


My heavy duty floor tiles also cracked because of the temperature was too high.

For them, they can push everything. But they never think of our safety.
