@thesundaily: 14 Oct 2026: Three teenagers were injured by electric shock during a religious procession in Mergong, Alor Setar, on Tuesday night (Oct 13). The incident occurred at about 9.20pm when a flagpole carried during the procession was believed to have come into contact with a high-voltage power line, causing an electrical arc. Kota Setar police chief Assistant Commissioner Syed Basri Syed Ali said a 16-year-old boy suffered burns covering about 80% of his body and remained unconscious, while two 17-year-olds sustained burns covering 40% and 20% respectively. All three were taken to Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital for treatment. Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) said it would cooperate fully with the authorities in further investigations. @thesundaily #theSun #theSunMY #Mergong #AlorSetar
