A 30-hour blackout at Peninsula Plaza last Thursday has left many businesses affected.
According to a Straits Times report, the blackout affected shops in the basement and levels one to four, with power only restored at 2 a.m. on Saturday.
Shop tenants are ruing the second blackout since June 23 as the power outage disrupts their businesses and losses are expected.
The nearly 30-year-old shopping centre is a popular hangout for Myanmar workers because of the wide variety of amenities available, and many of them hope the power outages will be fixed.
Said Myanmar national Myo Thu, 25, “I’m glad the shops are open again because I came by the other day and they were all closed due to the blackout.”
Added Tun Niang, 24, “I hope they sort out the problem soon because it’s very inconvenient to travel here on my off-day, only to find the shops are closed due to the blackout.”
