KOTA BARU: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has taken steps to address the issue of Internet access in the Orang Asli villages at Pos Bihai and Pos Balar in Gua Musang.
In a statement issued today , it said the disruption of telecommunication service at Balar Post was due to power supply disruption as the genset at the telecommunication tower had run out of fuel.
However, the telecommunication tower at Balar Post was activated and able to return to normal last Jan 5, it said, adding that several short, medium and long-term solutions have also been identified for implementation to resolve the problems. "For a short-term solution, Numix has agreed to increase the existing free Internet usage quota from 8 GB to 12 GB per month for each user last Jan 7 and 8.
"For the long-term solution, MCMC, in collaboration with CelcomDigi, is examining the plan to develop a telecommunication tower near the Pos Bihai Orang Asli village and another transmitter structure at the Dakoh Orang Asli village,” it said.
