but would "some unit" be on alert when such massive power failure occur... which make us vunerable to terrorist attacks... more as a pre-emptive measure.Originally posted by wuming78:military? don't think they will be involved unless conventional threat level was first assessed to be high.

if during that black out time and a MOB was called. What do you think will likely to have happened? With street pitch-dark, traffic crawl, phone net work not working well... ... ... ? We really must look at it how the MOB can be carry out in a more proper order ways.
1.) phone net-work down? If he (NSman) listen to a battery operate radio it should be ok if the the station is still operational with back up power.
2.) street pitch-dark? traffic slow down? Hmm key pax sure will have problem report back in time.
3.) Back in camp? Back-up power supply? Yes?
Just the 1st 3 pt. after that how? I really wonder? We should really look into this matter or MINDEF should really let us know.![]()

Agreed on 'things' get escalate as time went by but for time like now?Originally posted by wuming78:dont think they wanna let the whole world know their backup plans.
but the key installations will definitely have backup power.
the rest are really out of their control. but as mentioned, incidents and threats do not and should not happen overnight. so if there have been signs of danger, they would have initiated whatever plans they have to counter possible threats.
hopefully.
u mean coincidence - MOB during blackout? got blackout kit and procedures one.Originally posted by Joshua1975:Agreed on 'things' get escalate as time went by but for time like now?
Go back to black out just b4 MOB or during MOB. Let say all NSman were able to be called and all are moving back now. I just can not imagine what it will be like? Do you?

oh im sure... the sad thing is they always tend to overlook things until it happens. and now the minister says it has hurt our reputation. well well... den shouldnt things like these been thoroughly checked before rolling it out so confidently without reliable backup?Originally posted by Joshua1975:![]()

What abt the guy on the road heading on the way back? Jam? Slow traffic? This is just one small things we missed. There are many others small thing around. Anyway it good that black out happened. Hopefully the top brass will and has look into it.
