BALIK PULAU – A 12-year-old boy suffered serious burns after being electrocuted inside a Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) substation at Taman Seri Bayu, Bayan Lepas, here today.
Mohd Dawisy Zarif Mohd Khairi was playing football with his friends nearby and had gone into the station to retrieve the ball when he fell and was electrocuted at about 4.40pm.
