Sabah Electricity welcomes SOGT maintenance rescheduling
Published on: Thursday, July 31, 2025 Published on: Thu, Jul 31, 2025 Text Size: KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Electricity (SE), in a statement on Thursday, welcomed the rescheduling of maintenance works at the Petronas-owned Sabah Oil and Gas Terminal (SOGT) from 1 August to 5 August this year. The adjustment allows two independent power producers (IPPs) more time to switch their operations from gas to diesel fuel. This transition process requires careful planning to maintain a stable electricity supply across the state. SE expressed appreciation for the cooperation shown by all parties involved in ensuring smooth preparations. It also hopes the IPPs will carry out their technical adjustments efficiently and on schedule to support system stability in Sabah. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

2025 Toyota Camry LE vs Camry SE: Key Differences
The Toyota Camry midsize sedan is fully redesigned for 2025, and though it's a little more expensive than the previous generation model, it now comes standard with a hybrid powertrain. The new Camry is sure to attract budget-conscious shoppers, but which trim level offers the best value? The 2025 Toyota Camry is currently available in LE, SE, XLE, and XSE trims. Although it's fully redesigned this year, the trim lineup carries over from 2024, except for last year's top-tier TRD (Toyota Racing Development) performance trim. For Camry shoppers focused on finding the best value, the LE and SE models are the sweet spots. Both are good choices, though a thorough understanding of the differences between the two, and how they differ from the more expensive trims, will help consumers resist upsells and other high-pressure sales tactics at the dealership. Starting at $28,700, the 2025 Toyota Camry LE is the entry point to this midsize sedan's lineup. It's more affordable than the SE, which starts at $31,000, a difference of $2,300. Common features include push-button start, wireless charging, a six-speaker audio system, a seven-inch digital gauge cluster, an eight-inch touchscreen, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Since the Camry is fully redesigned, it looks fresh, though basic. Exterior differences are subtle between these two versions of the Camry. Both feature LED headlights, taillights, and daytime running lights, along with black exterior trim. The Camry LE gets a black grille, 16-inch silver alloy wheels, cloth upholstery, manually-adjustable front seats, and not much else noteworthy. The Camry SE gains a mesh grille, 18-inch black alloy wheels, dual exhaust tips, slightly sportier exterior trim (such as the front lower diffuser and the rear trunk spoiler), cloth and SofTex synthetic leather upholstery, a power-adjustable driver's seat, and a leather-trimmed steering wheel with paddle shifters. While both models are available with heated front seats, only the SE is available with a 12.3-inch touchscreen. The Camry LE and SE have the same list of standard safety features, including a rearview camera, the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 pre-collision system, blind-spot monitors, and a rear-seat reminder of these Camry trims is particularly posh or noteworthy. They have the same infotainment system and only minor differences elsewhere. If the Camry SE featured, for example, standard heated front seats, more safety features, or an upgraded infotainment system, it would be a better justification for the price difference. Yet, to some shoppers, the slightly less bland appearance of the Camry SE, particularly the upgrade to 18-inch wheels, may be worth the money. The Camry LE and SE both feature a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, two electric motors, a lithium-ion battery, and a CVT. Front-wheel drive comes standard, and all-wheel drive, which adds a third electric motor, is available on both trims for $1,525. With FWD, the Camry is rated for 225 horsepower and 163 lb-ft of torque. With AWD, the Camry offers 232 horsepower, but Toyota does not provide official torque specifications. Both versions of the Camry feature an independent MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension, though the SE model adds sport-tuned shocks and springs. Most Camry shoppers aren't looking for athletic handling, but the SE's suspension tuning improves ride quality as well as driving LE is more efficient than the SE. The former earns up to an EPA-estimated 53 mpg in the city and 50 mpg on the highway with front-wheel drive, while the latter is rated for 48 mpg in the city and 47 mpg on the highway. The difference is likely due to the SE model's bigger wheels. The Toyota Camry is also available in XLE and XSE trim levels, which start at $33,700 and $34,900, respectively. The top-end XSE is a significant increase of $6,200 and $3,900 over the LE and SE. There's no increase in performance for the XSE, and there are no additional standard safety features, though there are more safety options. That means the differences are in styling, comfort, and convenience features. The XSE gets 19-inch alloy wheels and sportier exterior detailing, a choice of red or black leather upholstery, heated front seats, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen. The Toyota Camry's LE trim level may capture shoppers' attention with a low base price, but few buyers are likely to be satisfied with this model's equipment level. The SE is arguably a better pick for value, with a higher grade of upholstery and suspension tuning that enhances driving dynamics and ride quality. Overall, the 2025 Toyota Camry SE will be a more pleasant car to own than the Camry LE, though the Camry's value diminishes beyond this point. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc.

SE urges SOGT maintenance postponement to avoid major power cuts
Published on: Wednesday, July 30, 2025 Published on: Wed, Jul 30, 2025 By: Nora Ahmad Text Size: Mohd Yaakob and others at the press conference. KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Electricity (SE) has requested Petronas to postpone scheduled maintenance at the Sabah Oil and Gas Terminal (SOGT) to avoid large-scale electricity rationing affecting around 600,000 domestic users in Sabah and Labuan. SE Chief Executive Officer Datuk Mohd Yaakob Jaafar said the planned rotation-based rationing is expected to run from this Friday until 7 August across the state and Labuan. He explained that initial arrangements had anticipated no supply disruption, following earlier discussions with Petronas and the Energy Commission of Sabah (Ecos). However, he said new information received on Tuesday revealed that the system could not operate on alternative fuel as expected, potentially reducing grid capacity by 195 Megawatts for seven days. Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Mohd Yaakob said further talks with Petronas would be held later in the day to explore the possibility of delaying the maintenance until capacity stabilises. He added that postponing the works would help ease the situation, as scheduled outages would otherwise affect users during peak hours from 10am to 10pm, lasting one to two hours each time. SE will continue working closely with IPPs, Ecos and other stakeholders to monitor the situation and reduce any inconvenience to consumers, with updates available on SE's Facebook page and app. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Blackouts due to gas supply hitch
Published on: Saturday, July 26, 2025 Published on: Sat, Jul 26, 2025 Text Size: According to SE Chief Operating Officer Ir. Ts. Mohd Yusmanizam Mohd Yusof, the shutdown occurred at 2.11pm, affecting gas delivery to power plants in the Kota Kinabalu area. Kota Kinabalu: An emergency shutdown at a Petronas-owned gas terminal on Wednesday disrupted gas supply to several power stations, prompting Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd (SE) to implement rolling blackouts across parts of the State. According to SE Chief Operating Officer Ir. Ts. Mohd Yusmanizam Mohd Yusof, the shutdown occurred at 2.11pm, affecting gas delivery to power plants in the Kota Kinabalu area. The affected stations were forced to switch from gas to diesel fuel, resulting in a 60-megawatt drop in generation capacity for the Sabah and Labuan electricity grid. The first round of load shedding, from 2.38pm to 4.53pm, affected users in Pitas, Papar, Keningau, Kunak, Balung and Tawau. A second blackout followed at 6.38pm, impacting Kudat, Kota Marudu, Tuaran, Lok Kawi, Kimanis, Beaufort, Tenom, Nabawan, Beluran, Sandakan, Semporna, Sebatik and parts of Pitas and Tawau. Full power supply was restored by 9.36pm. SESB extended its apologies to consumers for the inconvenience and for delays in communication regarding the outages. The utility also appealed for public understanding, citing ongoing operational challenges in maintaining a stable power supply. Consumers in need of assistance or updates are advised to contact SESB via the Sabah Electricity Careline at 15444 or 088-515000, WhatsApp at 019-852 5427, or through the Sabah Electricity mobile application. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
