It also said that supply was fully restored within 38 minutes, by 1.56 am.

The only good thing about the blackout is seeing Singapore with and without light pollution. Also took 30 minutes for electricity to be restored, not too shabby, was expecting at least an hour or more. pic.twitter.com/Dc9ddBx8PZ

Blackout in multiple parts of Singapore earlier. It's a rare sight, that darkness was so natural and peaceful. Everyone was at their windows waving their flashlight trying to figure out what's going on :'D pic.twitter.com/ZgvgwsbRtv
