SINGAPORE – Some shoppers and diners at Raffles City had to abandon their plans for the evening when the mall was hit by a two-hour blackout on Monday evening (Jan 13).
The mall said in a Facebook post at 8.14pm that it was alerted to the “partial power outage” at about 8pm, and was working to restore supply. It apologised to shoppers for the inconvenience.
A spokesman at electricity supplier SP Group said it understood that there was an electricity supply interruption at parts of Raffles City.
“Our network is in order. We have reached out to Raffles City to offer assistance,” the spokesman added.
Shoppers were seen leaving the mall, which was still shrouded in darkness at 9.20pm when The Straits Times arrived. A few sections in the basement level were partially lit by backup lights.
Mall security officers, who were stationed at the entrance to guide shoppers, told ST that the blackout was due to a power trip and should be “back on in one hour or so” as the mall is working at restoring power.
