The Klang Valley encompasses the capital Kuala Lumpur and areas in surrounding Selangor state. Places that have reported confirmed blackouts include Bangsar, Cheras, Shah Alam and beyond.

Malaysians have taken to Twitter to complain about the electricity cut, with some mentioning places in Negri Sembilan and Perak as also experiencing the same.

"Our engineering team is communicating closely with TNB (Tenaga Nasional Berhad) to resolve the matter."

"There has been a disruption in the electricity supply in several areas. Our technical team is currently identifying the cause and we are working to restore the power supply," it said.
