Power outage cripples Sabah


KOTA KINABALU: A massive power blackout crippled most parts of Sabah and Labuan FT, leaving over 500,000 consumers without electricity from 11.05am.

The simultaneous tripping along Sabah’s east-west transmission grid disrupted many government counter services while hospitals had to scrap elective surgeries as generators were used to operate essential services like the emergency unit, Intensive Care Unit and operating theatres.
