Retiree Larry Henson was sleeping in his Tampines Court condominium
yesterday morning when his wife woke him up to tell him that a
blackout had hit their estate.
"The lifts were not working and people couldn't get out (of the
estate) because the electronic car barriers and turnstile gates
were also not functioning," said Mr Henson, 67.
"The guards had to disable the system so the gates could open."
A spokesman for SP PowerGrid said 44 blocks in the vicinity of
Tampines Avenue 4 and streets 11, 12, 81 and 82 were affected by
the blackout that took place yesterday at 6.24am.
