  • The problem, possibly related to a transmitter in Felda Trolak Timur, is causing only static noise, and residents are urging responsible parties to address it promptly.

Thousands of residents in the Gugusan Felda Trolak area, specifically Felda Trolak Timur near Sungkai in Perak, are facing significant problems with the reception of Radio Klasik broadcasts. The issue has been ongoing, causing considerable inconvenience to listeners in the region.

According to a complaint lodged on behalf of the residents, the disruptions are not new. Similar problems occurred just four days before the recent Hari Raya Aidilfitri holiday, and on previous occasions, leading to weeks of unserviced outages. The radio service has been unavailable, with listeners only hearing static noise.

We are facing problems hearing Radio Klasik broadcasts since last week. The same problem occurs frequently.

The residents suspect that the problem might be linked to a specific transmitter located in Felda Trolak Timur. They are appealing to the responsible authorities to investigate and resolve the issue as quickly as possible, emphasizing the recurring nature of the disruption and the lack of timely repairs.

This situation highlights a persistent challenge for listeners relying on public radio services in certain areas. The lack of consistent and clear broadcasts can isolate communities and limit access to information and entertainment. The residents' plea underscores the need for timely maintenance and effective solutions to ensure reliable radio services.

We hope the responsible parties will resolve the problem immediately.
