As usual, I am alittle slow in addressing big local events. On Tues there was a major blackout affecting 1/3 of Singapore. On last night's news I was shocked to see so many areas hit by the blackout as I only thought Boon Lay was affected.

This again shows how vulnerable modern society is today. One minor fault in the generators and the whole city can go down. Imagine a terrorist attack ! WHAHAHAHAHA.. All is gone. Indeed such a foreign technical fault is not Singapore Power's but then I'm wonderiing if they have better power backout system. A backup system should be on 24 hours and always ready to take on any major blackout the moment the main generator becomes faulty. But then the backup generator which ran on disel took about 2+ hours to start functioning. I am no engineer, this is only a layman's point of view of how an ideal backup generator should work. Just a few months ago, there was another blackout.

Like I said in previous entry, Singapore is losing its postion as a developed country. Look at the basic infrastructure. Blackouts happen every 6 months. And often it hit those major factory areas like Boon Lay. For a manufacturing company which produces goods 24/7, a 45 min laspe = millions of dollars lost. What is happening to the management of SG Power ? Its not like this a few years ago,blackouts dun happen every 6 months or so. Imagine those companies servers..a blackout can turn the company computer system upside down. So who is going to pay ? Remember the issue a couple of years ago when SG Power's new computer system is so buggy that it charge extra charges for almost the whole of singapore ?

Changi Airport just got a server problem for 10 min. Recently there was an air-con breakdown for 4 hours ! Look at Singapore now !!! Nicoll High Way collapse...blackouts...What is next ? Changi Airport blackout for 5 hours,all planes delay ? Or airport run way collapse/ cave in ? Backward internet speed,frequent blackouts,collasping roads,buildings. Singapore will be out in a few years time. Let's all move to China now. Quick ! At least China got faster internet speed, WHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA..
