28km of cables in SPLRT network to be tested during off-service hours

This comes after a power cable fault between Farmway and Kupang stations caused a four-hour outage across all 29 stations in the network on Aug 15, the second time in four days the LRT system was hit by a power fault.

The back-up power supply failed to kick in on Aug 15 because of an electrical switchboard that was damaged in the earlier outage on Aug 12, which also affected the entire SPLRT network, as well as parts of the North East MRT line (NEL).
