On July 14, the Daily Express reported that visitors to the tower clock claimed they were not able to hear the clock's hourly chime, with some spotting the tower was left not lit at night at times. A tour guide compared the tardiness of local technicians to those in England who rush to fix London's Big Ben "in an hour or a day or two" if it was not working accordingly.
