On 29 June 1985, much of Peninsular Malaysia suffered a power failure that started in the afternoon due to a trip in one of the power stations in Terengganu.
On 29 September 1992, again much of Peninsular Malaysia experienced a similar power failure which began around 3.15pm when it was reported that lightning struck one of the power lines in Terengganu.
Then on 3 August 1996, about 5.17pm, the entire Peninsular Malaysia plunged into darkness due to failure of one of the power stations in Terengganu.
Today, a total blackout happened, but in Sabah. The entire state plunged into darkness at 6.45pm due to a trip at the power grid connecting power stations in the state!
The Star reports that former Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir has second thoughts about Dato’ Seri Najib succeeding Pak Lah as the next Prime Minister.
“We see that he is a penakut (coward). He is always saying, ‘yes sir, yes sir, saya sokong, saya sokong (I support, I support),” he said when asked after giving a talk at the University of Manchester, United Kingdom.
Dr Mahathir also said Najib failed to explain the reasons behind the setback suffered by Barisan Nasional in the recent General Election.
On the possibility that Anwar will succeed as Prime Minister if Pakatan Rakyat forms the Federal Government, Dr Mahathir said Anwar is not the only candidate. He further said that a candidate from PAS or even DAP Secretary General Lim Guan Eng could be the Prime Minister.
