Thieves who stole underground copper cables have disrupted phone connections of several homes in Taman Palm Grove, Klang, Selangor. Concrete manhole covers have been removed and placed on road shoulders while remnants of cut cables and plastic fragments litter the road verge along Jalan Setaka and Jalan Terap.

According to residents, Telekom Malaysia (TM) workers have been working along the two roads to restore the telephone service.
