“What we want is for this telecommunication tower to be placed outside this residential area as we are concerned about our health,” Lim told a press conference after a visit by the media to the telecommunication tower owned by Sacofa at Taman Supreme yesterday.
He added there were many high cable towers along Jalan Pending to Simpang Tiga which could be used to provide the services.
The telecommunication tower was constructed on10 February this year to meet the growing demands of telecommunication and internet users in the area.
On 3 March, 2017, some of the Taman Supreme residents met Bandar Kuching MP Chong Cheng Jen and Pending State Assemblywoman, Violet Yong at the telco tower site.
98 of them have signed a petition complaining about the construction of the tower.
