Carbon82 Moderator September 17, 2018 Share September 17, 2018 Are power outage going to be as common as MRT service disruption, given that the last outage occurred just 3 months ago (affecting Shenton Way and Chinatown area)?And talking about that, I don't remember seeing any investigation report on the previous incident too. Time to have a total review of our power supply network resilience and emergency response plan. Complacency can wipe out what we have achieved in the past 50 plus years, overnight... 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of this list, only fan is applicable in my case. If koon already wouldn't have noticed/complained about wifi. and i was checking with wife whether did the fan go off, but she also can't remember whether it was always on (= no blackout), or it went off, and she woke up to switch it on again (= got blackout) ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
