KUALA LUMPUR – The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has been instructed to review the construction specifications of telecommunication towers from the aspects of engineering and safety.
Communications and Multimedia Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa, in a tweet last night, said there needs to be a safety audit method following a recent incident in Ipoh in which a telecommunication tower collapsed.
