For nearly 15 years, Musdah and Saimun have ensured the availability of electricity in Selenaik hamlet of Sedau village, Narmada district, West Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. They have encountered various incidents, including being threatened by local people because the electricity went out several times.

"When there was a power outage at someoneโ€™s house, they often got angry and came to my house. In fact, I was once threatened by a resident with a machete,โ€ Musdah (52) said in an interview at his home in late January 2021.
