Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) chief officer of resource planning and industry development Mohd Ali Hanafiah said the emissions from the towers were well below the exposure limit of 1 microwatt per sq cm as set by the International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection.
