Total blackout… in Sabah
Posted by James Ooi

Remember the following dates?

  • 29 June 1985
  • 29 September 1992
  • 3 August 1996

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!
