According to the 154th, it was due to power failure...once again, WHERE IS THE BACKUP POWER?? or emergency power supply? just like the entire country, we are running a government without any back up..that means oppositions.

We take things for granted, many are brainwashed that they are the best, nothing can fail...and they are sorely wrong. We placed our lives in their hands & we are paying the price for a "saw legacy" where making money is much more important than running & maintaining a transport system.

Once again, where is the emergency power supply??
