BlacK ouT...

Wah.. Blackout striked my area. But fortunately my estate was spared as it was part of a different substation.

Many parts of Singapore was hit by a blackout at around 10pm on Tuesday night.

Readers called up The Straits Times Interactive at 10.15pm to say that the power failure affected areas like Bishan, Serangoon, Joo Chiat, Bukit Batok, Jurong, Queenstown, Clementi, and even Holland Village.

But Toa Payoh, Pasir Ris and Woodlands were not affected by the power outage which lasted about 30 minutes.

Thirty minutes after the widespread blackout, lights were reported to have come back on in Changi, Serangoon North, Bishan, Clementi, Bukit Batok and Simei.

The power outage is believed to have been caused by a disruption in the supply of natural gas in Indonesia.

Whoa. Singapore power supply getting more and more unreliable. But luckily this isn't an act of terrorism as far as I can see. I was thinking. What if it WAS a terrorist attack?
