A widespread power failure across Malaysia left thousands without electricity on Wednesday afternoon, forcing office workers in one of the country’s tallest skyscrapers to climb down hundreds of flights of stairs.
Videos shared online showed employees evacuating The Exchange 106 – Malaysia’s fourth-tallest building – after the lights went out on 15 October. Some workers used torches to navigate the stairwells of the 445m-high tower, located in Kuala Lumpur’s Tun Razak Exchange financial district.
