You Do Not Have to Do It Yourself

I didn't know that in Malaysia, you can actually use a courier service to perform change in name/account status for electricity and water application. I am sure there are a lot of other services that courier companies offer.

It so happens that my company has an account with a courier company and I used them to apply for the change of name for TNB. The charge was RM11.50. I think it was worth it as it would cost me the same to drive there, park and wait for my number to be called. Why not let a professional do it for you?

I am very happy with this service.

How to Change name in Tenaga?

This is similar to my post on how to change name in Syabas.

After getting your keys to your new place, you have to first make sure your LAWYER has confirmed that the seller has terminated their TENAGA account. Else like what happened to me, my lawyer "forgot" to tell me about this.....(email me if you want to know who is my lawyer and why you should not use them).....this left me with a wasted trip.

Tenaga told me that there was an outstanding bill and my previous owner had not closed their account. Therefore I could not change the account to my name.

Anyway, if you have any queries, I advise you to use Tenaga's webchat as this is super efficient....
This is the link 

You can ask them all the questions you need Online!!!!!! English and BM also can.

Anyway, if you just want to know the documents needed, they are listed below:

1. Photocopy IC
2. Full set of Sale and Purchase Agreement (photocopy)
3. RM800 deposit for 2 months (this depends on your property...best to webchat an ask TNB)
4. RM10 Stamp duty
5. RM3 Processing Fee
6. Application form.....tick the CHANGE IN TENANCY box on page 2 of the application form

That's it....you can make your way to TNB.

Or else you can also ask a Courier service to do it. All the best in your application ......

How to Perform Change of Name in Syabas?

This is connected to another one of my blog on how to change the name for Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB)

Having shifted back from Singapore to Malaysia, Selangor. We decided to buy a terrace house.

After we got the keys from the seller, we had to go and apply to change the water supply (Syabas) account from the seller to our name.

A search on the internet pointed us to Syabas website. Perhaps it was my mistake in searching with the wrong keywords, I ended up looking at the wrong page in Syabas. Finally after asking the Syabas people on Facebook and getting a reply from them.....still unclear, by God's grace i stumbled upon this page today.

This is the link

In short this is what you need.

1) Copy of related documents (such as Sale and Purchase Agreement (just photocopy the whole document), Land title, Quit rent or Tenancy/Lease Agreement, etc.)

2) Accept the Water Supply Application Terms and Condition

SYA/T1/1 for landed property

SYA/T2/1 for individual sub meter which water supplied through Bulk Meter

(whatever that means, I do not think anyone will bother to read)

3) Water bill of the premise (if available) 

4) Copy of Identification Card (I/C) or Company Registration Number and Company Chop/Stamp

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!!

Make sure your previous owner has cancelled their account with Syabas, else you will have to pay their outstanding balance before Syabas allow you to change name.
