Blackout at many parts in Singapore

Blackout was reported at many parts in Singapore yesterday. (See archived report from CNA: http://www.clipclip.com/choongyong.koh/clips/detail/11782)

I happened to be at home, and the blackout occurred between 1555hrs to 1630hrs.  Quite a quick response time, I should say.  However, other reports say that there are areas in Singapore that only had power returned about 2 hours later.

Areas affected reported by CNA were:

• Golden Mile Food Centre
• Choa Chu Kang
• Bukit Batok
• Bukit Timah
• Woodlands
• Jalan Eunos

Areas affected reported by Straits Time today (22 Dec 2006) are:

• Bukit Batok
• Choa Chu Kang
• Mandai Road
• Sengkang
• Kallang
• Katong

Traffic lights were also affected by the power outage and caused traffic jams.
