PENANG: A last-ditch effort by the authorities averted what could have been a stressful weekend for thousands of Penangites a 10-hour power cut stretching from 10pm tonight to 8am the next day followed by a 7am to 9pm water disruption, also tomorrow.
At a hastily called press conference, Padang Kota assemblyman Teng Chang Yeow announced yesterday that Tenaga Nasional Bhd had postponed the scheduled power shutdown following a directive from Chief Minister Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon earlier in the day.
