Vandals struck a major cell phone tower and knocked out service across eight villages near Raub. The damaged CelcomDigi tower acts as the main hub that connects smaller towers throughout the region. State committee chairman Fadzli Mohamad Kamal revealed that criminals destroyed key parts of the equipment during their attack. The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission launched an investigation after receiving reports about the incident. Repair crews face delays because they need to order replacement parts from suppliers.
Eight rural communities lost their phone and internet connections when the vandals hit the central tower. Villages like Kampung Gesing and Sungai Ruan depend on this equipment for basic communication services. Kampung Jelu, Bukit Pampong, and Kampung Chendra Chinchin also suffered from the outage. The damage spread to Kampung Tanjung Putus, Kampung Temau, and Kampung Gali Hilir as well. CelcomDigi technicians are scrambling to restore service one tower at a time.
Officials worry that more attacks could happen if people stay silent about suspicious behavior around towers. Fadzli asked residents to watch for strangers lurking near telecommunications equipment. Police need tips from the public to catch the criminals responsible for this destruction. The company promises to rebuild the damaged systems as fast as possible. Community members must help protect these vital communication links from future vandalism.
