Blackouts in Parliament

The power supply in Parliament was interrupted twice during the ongoing sitting of the Dewan Rakyat, bringing the proceedings to a halt.

The first power failure occured at about 11.50am when Agriculture and Agro-based Industries Minister Noh Omar was winding up of the Supply Bill (2011).

After the electricity supply was restored shortly after, another blackout occurred which was promptly resolved.

By then the audio and visual equipments are unable to function and are currently being repaired.

Prior to power disruption, the Dewan Rakyat had resolved to extend today's sitting to 10.30pm. It is unknown whether there will be further extensions due to the blackouts.
