The Ho Chi Minh City Power Company has sealed off and cut off power supply to 61 automatic teller machines (ATM), a couple days after a 10-year-old girl was electrocuted when she come into contact with an ATM booth in District 1.

The company has started to check all 866 ATMs in the city after 10-year-old Chau Linh Uyen was killed Thursday on Mac Thi Buoi Street.

Investigations by police in District 1 found an electric wire running across a set of stairs where Uyen sat outside the ATM booth. According to Saigon Electricity Company technicians, the wire, which was set up by Agribank to provide power for the room, had many open joints and was leaking electricity.

A total of 61 ATMs were found with electrical problems as of Sunday afternoon.

Tran Dung, manager of technical and labor safety at the company, said the ATMs had been isolated and their power cut.

Most of the ATMs were set up by the banks themselves, local newswire Dan Tri cited the company as saying in a statement.

The banks have been asked to fix their machines.

The ATM where the girl was killed was also set up by Agribank. The wire leading to the signboard had called electrical leakage, police said.

Earlier, the power company had sent a note asking banks in the area to check the wires and earth connections at their ATMs.

Many ATM customers of Vietcombank have reported experiencing slight electric shocks at the machine on Cao Thang Street, some when leaning on the iron door, some when typing the numbers in, VOVNews reported Sunday.

Not nearly enough of a penalty. Certainly not enough for the family.

My wife hates walking under the wires on the streets. From what she tells me it was not uncommon when she was growing up for the electric service wires to break and be exposed on the ground. Not to mention the ad hoc wiring when people connect illegally to the service.

Speaking of that!!! I have saw tree falling down on the raining day with wires hanging down on the tree or falling under the ground. People still walking back and forth, or even driving their car, or motobike over the falling wire. They are CZY people.. I am not surprise...

The very first time I came back visiting Saigon, when I saw all those electrical and/or telephone wires hanging on the wooden posts along the streets, I asked myself "How do the technicians know which is which?"

Sigh, that picture probably describes accurately about the VNese society, chaos and lawless.

Just remember, life over there in VN is NOT real! Your money will be worth a LOT less once you get back over here. Back to reality, cowboy!
