Blackout at JB's Hospital Sultan Ismail, TNB blamed



An electricity blackout occurred this morning and disrupted operations at Johor Bahru's Hospital Sultan Ismail.
When contacted, a hospital staff refused further comment, apart from confirming the incident, and said Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) was to be blamed.
"Yes until now there is still a blackout.
"For further information please call TNB, because this is all TNB's fault," she told Malaysiakini at 9.45am.
The staff added that they were instructed not to release further information to the public.
The extent of the blackout so far remains unclear.
According to the TNB Careline, repair works have been ongoing since 9am at TNB sub-stations in Majidee, Tebrau and Taman Mount Austin.
"If the hospital is located within these areas, then that would be the cause of the shortage," said a TNB operator.
It is understood that all public hospitals are required to maintain a centralised Uninterrupted Power Supply system as well as back-up generators in the event of such emergencies.
Another hospital staff member later said that power had been restored since afternoon but all questions should be directed to the state health department.
Malaysiakini has contacted the Johor health department and is awaiting a response.- Mkini
