KUCHING: The Sarawak Energy Appointment System, or SEAS, will be activated at the utility’s customer service counters at Sri Aman, Sibu Regional Office and Jubli Mutiara, Sarikei on March 15.
According to Sarawak Energy’s General Manager for Retail, Ng Shou Fui, it will be activated at the three counters following the success of the system’s implementation in 2021 at selected counters.
“We came up with SEAS last year to reduce waiting time and improve scheduling and traffic management at the counters. This initiative was also to safeguard customers by preventing further spread of Covid-19.
“As SEAS enables us to provide an enhanced customer experience, it also helps reduce the risk to the health and safety of our customers as we manage their service requests at our counters,” she said in a press statement, on Saturday.
She also said that after introducing the appointment system in October and November last year at some of Sarawak Energy’s counters, they found that it was well-received by customers.
“Hence, we will implement SEAS at all our customer service counters in phases and target to complete full implementation within this year,” Ng said.
In the statement also, the utility company said in line with Sarawak Energy’s continuous effort to better facilitate customer service, the system enables customers to book an appointment to avoid having to wait in queue.
“The system will start to accept bookings for visits starting from April 1.
“From April 1, walk-ins will no longer be accepted at Sarawak Energy’s Sri Aman, Sibu Regional Office and Jubli Mutiara, Sarikei customer service counters except for matters requiring urgent attention.
“Senior citizens aged 80 and above, pregnant women and persons with disabilities are exempted and may approach any of the customer service personnel for assistance,” it said.
Appointments through SEAS can be made anytime and anywhere by visiting Sarawak Energy’s corporate website (https://www.sarawakenergy.com/customers) under “Sarawak Energy Appointment System (SEAS)” or by scanning the QR code provided.
Customers are required to select their preferred date and time when booking an appointment and customers will need to arrive at the premises five minutes before the appointment time.
Customers are also advised to check their e-mail before visiting the counters as appointments can be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.
If an appointment is cancelled, a new booking needs to be made via the system.
Sarawak Energy reminded customers that only those who have received the fully vaccinated status in their mySejahtera accounts are permitted to enter any of Sarawak Energy’s customer service counters.
Meanwhile, Sarawak Energy continues to encourage customers to perform transactions through online services at Sarawak Energy’s mobile app “SEB cares” for bill payments and enquiries.
Payments can also be made via other platforms such as online banking, JomPay and e-wallets like SPAY GLOBAL and Boost.
