We refer to the article published by the Malaysia Today on 21 November 2011 on the request by Mr. Bobby Chiah of Kipark Selayang Condominum for TM to discontinue the construction of new telecommunication tower built opposite the condominium.

Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) wishes to clarify that its network team has immediately conducted a site visit this morning to the said location to ascertain the ownership of the tower mentioned. The visit confirmed that the tower in fact does not belong to TM and a signage erected within the vicinity of the tower, which is being built inside a water tank premise, indicated that it belongs to another telecommunications provider. There is also an existing tower which again belongs to another telecommunications provider.

TM wishes also to inform that we do not plan to construct any new tower in the area in the near future, except for maintaining the existing exchanges to cater to our current TM customers.

Please be assured that TM takes the safety and welfare of our customers very seriously and is committed to adhere to the policies and guidelines set by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT); namely 'Garis Panduan Pembinaan Menara Telekomunikasi, Struktur Sistem Pemancar Di Kawasan Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan-2002' on the construction of any new towers.

Our TM representatives also managed to speak to Kipark Selayang Condominum’s Residents Chairman to explain the situation. We are also replying directly to Mr. Chiah in response to the letter published here.

We hope the explanation above clarifies the matter and sincerely hope your concerns will be addressed by the appropriate parties. On a separate note, we seek Malaysia Today’s cooperation in extending future concerns regarding TM submitted by your readers to us directly for us investigate and respond appropriately.

I'd say that's a fair response. If the clarification is indeed factual, and it has no reason to be not, then TM had taken the appropriate measure at this time to handle the situation adequately.

The signatory of this letter nor his/her designation does not seem to be included. I wish we can know who was the officer who attended to this reply.

And we hope that you are telling the truth and nothing but the truth. As far as GLC's are concerned there have been half-truths and cover-ups and pointing fingers at others It is an old tactic used by the Interlok Kerala pariah dog..the poor poor doctor from Kedah to twist and turn when challenged and to change things sneakily behind close doors. ( Our 800 billion OIL MONEY is still not being answered that went into his office of 22 years tenure). Well for your sakes I hope it is true..because when it collapses you or he won't be around to answer...meanwhile others would have died for you.
