Its acting managing director Ir Abdul Nasser Abdul Wahid told a press conference today that SESB possessed the necessary evidence to prosecute the culprits and would also seek to recover its losses amounting to RM300,000.

Meanwhile, he said 200 out of 474 premises inspected between January and May were found to have tampered with their electricity meters, causing SESB a loss of about RM630,000.
