State Works, Transport and Infrastructure Committee chairman Mohamad Fazli Mohamad Salleh said the complex was receiving electricity supply from a single source and was relying on seven generators for backup, but one of them broke down at about 2am resulting in the power outage.
A power outage lasting more than 12 hours at the Johor Bahru border checkpoint has left Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi fuming, calling the incident an embarrassment to the state.
