KUALA LUMPUR, April 22 (Bernama) -- Malakoff Corporation Bhd says a fire that occurred on April 22, 2019 at about 6 am at the Tanjung Bin Energy Power Plant (TBE) in Pontian, Johor was an isolated incident which involves only the belt conveyor that carries coal to the power plant and does not affect the 1,000MW power plant itself.

The situation is under control and all relevant authorities have been informed and an investigation is still on-going, it noted.
