Serious Plaza Singapura Blackout Today 23 Sept! Ice Cream All Melted! No Lights, No Aircon! Tenants Bravely Do Bizness In The Dark! So Romantic!

[JohnTan]

SINGAPORE: About 80 shops at Plaza Singapura had to operate in darkness in the morning and early afternoon on Sunday (Sep 23) after a scheduled electrical shutdown went on longer than originally planned.

There was no air-conditioning until the evening, too.

According to a CapitaLand memo sent to tenants at The Atrium @ Orchard, the shopping mall management had scheduled an electrical shutdown for maintenance works from 11.30pm on Sep 22 to 8am on Sep 23.

There would be no electricity supply to the store premises and common areas during the specified period, the memo said.

Tenants were advised to arrange for alternative power sources or provide separate arrangements for their frozen food and perishable items.

Responding to a query from Channel NewsAsia, General Manager of Plaza Singapura June Ang said an “unforeseen delay” caused power supply to return gradually only from 2.15pm.


“The lights were fully restored by 2.40pm while the air-conditioning was progressively switched on from 6.40pm,” she said.

“We have been providing regular updates to the tenants since this morning and also deployed our team to advise shoppers. We apologise for any inconvenience caused to the affected tenants and shoppers, and will continue to provide assistance where required.”

Channel NewsAsia reader Tiffany Lim said the air-conditioning at Sephora, located on the first floor, was not working when she visited the store at around 5pm.

“I walked in and it was like a heatwave … and one of the Sephora staff was fanning herself so I knew it wasn’t just me,” she said.

Business development manager of Arteastiq and Cajun on Wheels, Teo Jia Min, said both outlets were affected by the disruption.

For instance, the ice cream at her stores melted.

“Tenants can expect a massive loss in sales as it is Sunday, the busiest day of the week,” she said.

“Tenants also have to pay staff salaries, food spoilage from the non-functioning freezers and chillers. CapitaLand has not given any indication on whether compensation will be given for the day’s rental.”

Ms Teo also claimed that CapitaLand did not allow its tenants to close for the day and had instead required them to be on standby.

Not like they can use diesel generators. N how can they allow the shops to be open when there is no power? Where the safety standards? In ang mor lands the stall will all close bcos a customer might trip etc due to the dark. Singkie standard at its best

Sinkie shoppers will visit PS regardless of the power supply. As such, merchants and their staff are expected to remain open. You expect shoppers to come to PS and find all the shops shuttered on a Sunday?

The rent will have to be paid regardless. The tenants were already given early notice regarding the stoppage of electricity and should have made their own backup plans. There's no reason for CapitaLand to compensate them except out of sheer goodwill.

How to implement back up plans? Get a diesel generator? Ship the ice cream to a warehouse for storage? N if a customer fall down in the dark. Wat is PS public liability?

The tenants should figure it out themselves. The landlord has given them early warning.

Tat is just the landlord playing Tai chi. How do tenants know about procedure when the land lord control everything? It's like u hire a lawyer for a biz transaction. But the paperwork etc all done by u..than hire lawyer for wat?

 

[AhMeng]

Ang mor courts have far less credibility than our courts. Our judiciary system is more widely respected.

Singapore courts will not entertain such frivolous claims. Sinkies know that they are expected to go in with their eyes opened. Frivolous lawsuits such as trying to get rich through injury claims usually end in failure.

Teehee... altogether now!!! don't be shy!!! HUAT AH!!!

Organic...you are suppose to use candles, hurricane lamps, kerosene lamps, & all these are flammable stuffs, your Insurance will not cover. You are to get your 'fire hose' ready also, in case of one...remember ORGANic...just take out your 'organ' & spray, the females, just use the ;sponge' & squeeze.

The tenants should go the management office & FARK THEM...but be careful NO LIGHTS...
