Blackout in Peninsular
Well, i suppose 5th aunty in KL muz be really interested in this story. Same goes to most of the people living in the peninsular. Fortunately this time TNB (National Electric) manage to handle the problem within a couple of hours.
Here's one of the earlier article from thestaronline [ Tripping in Kapar power switchyard cause of major blackout]. This is the fifth time a major blackout since 1992. Sept 26th that very year, peninsular face the most serious blackout in history. Practically the whole west malaysia live without electricity for 3 days.
This happens again in 25th of June, where 3 main cables in the Penang Bridge short circuited. This causes penang to be in the dark for 10 full days.
Well, the following year, it happens in terengganu on 3rd of August, where a switch tripped, which causes other 7 power generators to be faulty, this is the largest scale of unpredicted blackout, effecting 4.2 million residence.
2003/09/01 - most of the northern states were affected by the blackout. Source: SinChew Daily
Well, this very time, i believe most of you have been reading the newspaper of even heard from the gossips running around. Anyway, what makes me feel surprise when i flipped today's papers is the cinemas...where people que up for the tickets, yet can't get to watch the screenings. It's wut minor things that only journalists will realise and capture. Now i know why it's hard to earn money from taking photos....u'll have to capture wut other people never think of.
