Heat. Blazing sunshine. Two women, one young man sitting on the porch Housing Block B number 39 Senggarang Griya Permai (GSP), KM 14, Tanjungpinang. A man wearing a T-shirt and shorts. While the two women engaged distant age, wearing overalls sleepwear.
"Heat," said the woman containing a young age. He Nur Asiah (25). Middle aged woman and teenage boy who sat facing him is the mother and brother. In the hot afternoon that they deliberately sat on the terrace "looking for the wind" because the air inside the house feels stuffy. Fans on their property can not be used. There was no electricity. Similarly, tv, refrigerator, and other electronic devices. Framed for granted.
Equipment that can only be used at certain hours only. From 18:00 pm till 20:00 pm.
"Electricity from the generators that provided PT (Sinar Bahagia Group as depelover housing)," said Nur Asiah.
The condition is experienced by Noor Asia and about 70 other households in housing since Monday (28/12) last. The power to the housing is disconnected PLN Rayon Bintan Centre because it is considered illegal. Taking directly from the meter mains electricity. New PLN electricity will be flowing again if the developer to pay a fine of between Rp 20 million set-Rp30 million.
Due to such conditions, Nur Asiah, and residents in the housing that can only have electricity for 4 hours at night in each day. At that moment they can enjoy television broadcasts, siphon water from the well using a pump, and feel light. Starting at 22:00 pm until morning, dark.
"Forced to wear an essential oil lamp there is light.
Fear is also a thief. Because we do not have neighbors. Silence, "complained Nur Asia. He claimed to have absolutely no idea electrical problems occurring in their housing. What is clear, as a housewife, she was feeling due to smooth supply of electricity to their houses.
Late in 2009, Thursday (31/12), building conference room PLN Tanjungpinang Branch, Jalan Bakar Batu ongoing debate a lot. That afternoon, attended among others Tanjungpinang Branch Director of PLN, Revelation Bintoro as well as some staff and managers from each branch, members of NGOs, community representatives, and two legislators Tanjungpinang, Maskur Tilawahyu and Benni SH.
The meeting discussed the addition of power by PLN in a luxurious house in Jalan Pantai Impian Gang Dolphins 6. Power which was originally 2200 VA (R1), increased to 23,000 VA (R3).
"We question the statement PLN no new or additional installation of electric power. But the truth is there. That's what we are questioning, "said Maskur Tilawahyu, member of Commission I which is also the Chairman of the Democratic Faction Tanjungpinang Parliament on Friday (1 / 1) yesterday.
PR PLN Tanjungpinang, Salman, said the added power house it is a house owned Subandi. Known Subandi Salman is a businessman who intended nut which is a major fuel agent in Tanjungpinang. He is also known as a businessman who has an existing gas stations and factories in Tanjungpinang. Salman said the addition of power that no other purpose, except to facilitate the supply of fuel from Subandi to PLN.
"It should be straightened out, the issue was purely because it helps the company's consideration. It was based on the rule. There was no other intention, "he said. Top it considers PLN Maskur discrimination. He deplored the Director of PLN Revelation Bintoro timid response to it. If the fuel supplied to PLN, it includes business issues.
"On the CCN if the priority," he said.
For that, PLN expects actually doing a review of such things. PLN called Maskur must return under normal circumstances. Not wise if it is a mistake to say that the old management as submission made since May 2009.
"If any say so, we ask for proof," he said.
He said also, very ironic if PLN add power of 2,200 VA to 23,000 VA to one house, while other parts of society can not have electricity.
Iskandar Mirza (43), a resident of Perum Griya Permai Senggarang say similar things like that Maskur Tilawahyu say: PLN discrimination. According to him, initially staying power in the housing where it does not matter. At them he lived there, developers provide 20 amperes distributed to residents who live there. But over time the family who occupied the house is getting crowded. Now it's up to 70 families of about 400 houses there.
Electricity is provided from the beginning and then not sufficient for citizens of 70 HH. On that basis, the residents agreed with the developer then asked the PLN to increase power.
"But it was rejected on the grounds of PLN in the electricity crisis will not add power or performing a new installation. I even met in person to the director of PLN Revelation Bintoro, "said Iskandar Mirza.
So, if the reason it found evidence of additional resources amounting to 23 000 VA to one house, this is saying is very discriminatory. "Power 23 000 was not small. If the amount is shared, its power may be enough to illuminate a single housing, "said Iskandar again. (Ame)
