After a landslide severed fiber optic cables in a landslide on Dec 27, communication services at two Orang Asli settlements, Pos Lemoi and Pos Telimau in Cameron Highlands, have been fully restored as of Jan 1.
Fadzli Mohamad Kamal, the chairman of Pahang Communications and Multimedia, Youth, Sports and Non-governmental Organisations (NGO) Committee, expressed gratitude for the efforts to reconnect the severed cables.
“On behalf of the state government, I thank everyone involved for their effort and cooperation for the past few days and settling the disruption,” he said in a statement on Monday.
He also thanked the Orang Asli settlement residents for their understanding of the limitations in resolving the issue.
The cable repairs were complicated by the landslide, as fallen debris had to be removed before replacement cables and equipment could access the locations. – Bernama
