TNB urged to run cables underground<\/a><\/h2>\n

KUALA LUMPUR:<\/strong> Why not run the high-tension cables underground? This is the question residents and business operators in Taman Halimahton, Jalan Klang Lama, want answered over the issue of the Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) high-tension cable pylons that are running alongside their homes. The pylons were erected by TNB three years ago.<\/p>\n

Residents are irked by TNB’s announcement that this stretch of pylons will remain above ground while the extension grids across the road to Taman Bukit Desa will go underground.<\/p>\n

Streets reported in 2009 that Taman Bukit Desa residents had requested that the high-tension cable pylons, which run just 100m from their houses, to go below ground as they feared the high voltage current running there would pose a health risk.<\/p>\n

Among the health hazards they claimed, based on a result from an international study, was that exposure to electromagnetic fields radiation could bring about serious illnesses such as leukaemia and cancer.<\/p>\n

Taman Halimahton resident association secretary Ng Poh Keat (picture), 51, said residents and business operators had been informed by TNB that the existing pylons near a nursery next to the residential area will remain above ground.<\/p>\n

“If Taman Bukit Desa residents can argue that there are potential health hazards from EMF radiation, then we can, too,” he said.<\/p>\n

Ng said an appeal letter was sent to TNB last month for it to reconsider aligning the high-tension cables underground.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the residents’ plea received the attention of Seputeh Member of Parliament Teresa Kok.<\/p>\n

“TNB must review this seriously and not apply double-standards in meeting the residents demands. I hope TNB will have a dialogue with the affected residents soon,” she said.
\nThe high-tension cables are part of the Klang Valley power grid upgrade by TNB which involves converting the existing 33kV power line to a 275kV power line to supply electricity to the southern part of the Klang Valley.<\/p>\n
