Fire-hit telco tower repaired


PUTRAJAYA: Repair work on the telecommunication tower in Batu 10, Hutan Melintang, Perak, that caught fire on June 4 was fully completed on Sunday, says the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).

“Local residents who experienced disruptions due to the incident can now enjoy communication and Internet coverage as usual, ” it said in a statement.

In the incident last Friday, the tower owned by Digi, and shared by Celcom and Maxis, caught fire and caused communications and Internet disruptions in surrounding areas.

The MCMC thanked the service providers for their commitment to carrying out repair work and ensuring that work was completed within the stipulated period for the benefit of all users. — Bernama
