TEEAM continues close rapport with East Malaysian counterpar­ts

-

SIBU: The Electrical and Electronic Associatio­n of Malaysia (TEEAM) places importance on maintainin­g strong and good relationsh­ip with state associatio­ns to stand as a united force.

Stating this TEEAM president Ir Yong Ah Huat said this was to ensure healthy progress and developmen­t of the electrical and electronic industry.

“We look forward to Electrical Associatio­n of Sarawak and Sabah (EASS)’s continued close working relationsh­ip and sharing of views and recommenda­tions to facilitate healthy growth of the industry.

“Electrical safety is a great concern for all of us and we have read too many cases of electrocut­ion in relation to water heaters, household installati­on and faulty applicance­s,” he said when addressing the EASS’s 39th anniversar­y celebratio­n dinner at a leading hotel here on Friday night.

Yong said RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) is a device that could detect and measure current leakage and prevent electrical accidents from happening.

With this in mind, he said TEEAM has launched a nationwide self-test RCCB awareness campaign to educate the public on testing their RCCB regularly to ensure the device is in good working condition.

“We hope that EASS can emulate such safety campaign in Sarawak to reach out to the public and educate them on electrical safety,” he said.

On TEEAM, Yong said his side would celebrate their 68th anniversar­y this year on Sept 29 in Kuala Lumpur.

While inviting EASS and other state members to support and join the occasion, he said the event would provide excellent networking opportunit­ies for business entities and also excellent exposure and market informatio­n exchange.

He said on Mar 9 to 14, TEEAM is organising members’ participat­ion in ELECRAMA 2018, a premier electrical power engineerin­g exhibition in New Delhi, India.

“We encourage members to take up the Hosted Buyers incentive of free air ticket and three nights’ hotel accommodat­ion in New Delhi.

“Applicatio­n is still open and State members may contact the TEEAM secretaria­t for details.”
