Say 500-1000m from the high tension power cable and telco tower but the location is very good 5km from lifestyle mall and 2km from traditional market and many ammenities there very easy to go mamak and food court.It also have facilities like jogging track and swimming pool. Moreover, the price of house is considered cheap. Will you consider to buy? It's about 15-20 high tension power cable towers and 3 telco towers around there.

Preferably not. Definitely detrimental unless the price is too good to decline

There is no evidence that it might affected your health on long term. Since you are buying for own stay then just buy. If investment, maybe not that good because resale will be tougher becuase of people mind set. But if more 500m, actually it is quite a distance away.

This is Malaysia... You trust TNB no eat money when building?

Tower highest is about 60m, I'll take 100m min gap in case it decide to come down.

The EM will surely affect ur brain, but we already have so much EM on our airspace, don't think it will do more damage already.

Fengshui wise, people near HTC is affected by fire chi and get aggressive easily, do brainless stuff easily.

For own stay with >500m, it is quite far away and I will buy if I like it and cheap somemore.

For investment, I won't buy not because of science, but because people's mentality. You will face problem when renting or resell next time. I guess that is why the house is going cheap

At 100 meter distance, the radiation from your computer, tv, even fridge is, mobile phone is much higher.

500 meter considered real far these days.

Battery indeed can kill.

If it is a big battery, it kills you by its current.

Otherwise, it can kill if it explodes. And some kind of heavy metal poisoning.

What I cannot understand was why you said "This is Malaysia... You trust TNB no eat money when building?"
In most cases the TNB line normally constructed long before the housing. It was the developer who bought the land to build house. They probably get cheaper land price because the land owner has less choice biggrin.gif

I personally very doubt anything that is run under gomen ... when building piling commence, you will truly find out if the tower construction is under good foundation. The entire tower may just decide to come down. Maybe substandard steel was used or insufficient rust protection was apply. Our government really don't have good track record when it come to structure.

Its not really the distance or health issue, one tower decide to comedown is really no small shit.

Did you hear about the LRT pillar crushing a car recently ... imagine that tower crushing your house now. nod.gif

Ohh. I see your argument. It was about collapsing. So far I've never heard anything about TNB tower except several years back when people stealing metal braces that void design construction.

Normally tenders are open but selection probably make public doubt. Maybe given to cronies (either bumi to meet quota or non-bumi). I'm sure govt (or anyone that rule) don't want to tarnish his own image. Bad vendors/contractors were black-listed but by that time the damages have already been done.

Nothing much, high power live wire touch ground, conducted electricity might reach your foot.
Since we are all so darn "kepochee", quite sure many will go near the incident to selfie hence just have to count how many cardiac arrest case from electrocution. now couple with don't know how long before then TNB dude decide to shut down the grid (pink form, red form, minister sign ...)

I say if you are worried about telco towers, you should be more worried about your handphone and wifi as they are much closer to you and they transmit EM as well..

For a Telco tower that is 100m away, by the time EM reach you, its already attenuated by few thousand times.. but your handphone in your pocket need to transmit highpower back to basestation bcos the basestation need to decode your signal and EM will also be attenuated by 1000 times before it reach the Telco tower.

If you are worried about some minor thing, there are even more devices around you.

my point is, EM is part of our daily life.. just move on..

Pretty much guarantee its not flying star or 8 mansion since both system used direction and not left hand side !!

closest i can guest is the left dragon and right tiger embrace. having HTC on right just means woman in the house more "GARANG" ! high demand in bedroom (should be good ?) brows.gif

I personally won't buy it neither for investment nor own stay. It might or might not affect our health in long term but what I know 1 thing for sure is it is going to give me "eye sore" now. I won't be happy to see it every time I come home.

Most of all Taiwan high tension tower is build on a high platform ... this is for typhoon flooding mitigation.

so confirm higher than most house, confirm gonna be at someone right hand side ... yet property price still overboard.

The function for dragon and tiger embrace is to ensure chi do not disperse out. Green dragon represent men while white tiger represent woman. one higher then the other just signified either men or woman more influential in the house. of course men would not want woman more influential, if your house happen to have wife earn more than husband by all means get the right side higher to further strengthen her earning capability.

then there is black tortoise at the back and red phoenix (table mountain) at the front to lock chi in. icon_rolleyes.gif

Exactly !

But it consumes electricity.

And you know, Malaysian like to spoil things in the public area, keeping things in good order will be a maintenance nightmare.

These days if one goes to pasar malam, one can buy those phone USB cables which come with fancy color lights. So the htc itself should be built with decorative lights too. LOL.

Who studied in RMIT should hear this news.

TLDR, summary: 7 people sufferred brain cancer after living at RMIT building which has HTC.


The brain tumor cluster at Australia's RMIT University is Topic A for EMF watchers around the world. It all began on Thursday when Australian TV news reported that the university had launched an investigation into seven cases of brain tumors among staff members in a 17-storey building on its Melbourne campus. Five of those who developed tumors worked on the top floor of the building (two others were on the 11th and 14th floors), and six of the seven had been there for more than a decade, according to the Australian, a national newspaper. Five of the cases were uncovered in the last month, while two others were reported in 1999 and 2001, Melbourne's The Age reported.

Initially, most of the attention was focused on the mobile phone antennas on the roof of the high-rise. But others point to power-frequency and other types of EMFs as a possible cause. For instance, Don Maisch, a doctoral student at Wollongong University and an EMF activist based in Tasmania, wants to make sure the fields from electrical and electronic equipment housed on top of the building are properly measured. People working on the top floor "are very likely getting a good dose of ELF 'dirty electricity' with high voltage transients, harmonics, and RF all riding on the 50 Hz power supply" he wrote on his Blog. Others are not yet ready to discount the cell tower antennas. They challenge the idea that all the radiation is being beamed out towards the horizon; they point to possible sidelobes and reflections: "The floor below is definitely not a safe place!" commented Jean-Pierre Lentin, a French journalist and author of Ces Ondes Qui Tuent, Ces Ondes Qui Soignent (Waves that Kill, Waves that Heal).

The RMIT cluster is by no means the first brain tumor cluster that has been linked to EMFs, and most of the efforts to find theirs causes have been perfunctory at best. Take, for example, the cluster of 12 cancer cases, including five brain tumors, that was identified at a Congressional office building in Washington in the early 1990s. Even though the director of the Congressional Budget Office himself requested an investigation, the health hazard evaluation performed by NIOSH, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, was a sham. "No good came out of the report," said one of those who worked in the building at the time. (More details on this and other clusters are available in our M/A93 issue.)

Today, a number of experts quoted in the press are already saying that the causes of the brain tumors will probably not be identified. "To be quite frank, I think it's an unfortunate coincidence," Prof. Michael Abramson of Melbourne's Monash University told the Australian. Abramson is a director of the Australian Centre of RF Bioeffects Research). Mark Elwood, the head of the National Cancer Control Initiative made a similar argument to The Age. Elwood has been a consultant to both the electric utility and the telecom industries in the past.

Whether the promised investigation will uncover anything will depend on those who carry it out. (Interestingly, the head of RMIT's school of engineering, Professor Irena Cosic, is also a director of the Australian RF research center.) Will it be another whitewash or will the Australians rise to the occasion and do a careful and detailed investigation? We'll let you know.

Say 500-1000m from the high tension power cable and telco tower but the location is very good 5km from lifestyle mall and 2km from traditional market and many ammenities there very easy to go mamak and food court.It also have facilities like jogging track and swimming pool. Moreover, the price of house is considered cheap. Will you consider to buy? It's about 15-20 high tension power cable towers and 3 telco towers around there.

The key question to yourself is if you have doubts today about this purchase, your future buyers will have the same doubts.

My friend working for the government did a study many years ago and confirmed no real health issue. But you can't change people mind. For me, I won't buy knowing it would be a key concern for many people.

Never buy. There is no robust studies to prove it is harmful. And there is also no robust studies to prove that is is safe. The reality is you need to do a trial which requires sufficient sample size, longer time frame and regular medical check up to do that. Not many Gov will spend that kind of money to do that. If proven harmful it will cause panic. Of course developer won’t pay for something that will prove negative. So the best quote is “no evidence it is harmful”.
But some people who have stayed near this structure feel that their health is not the same as before, some have headache etc. of course some with higher tolerance won’t feel anything but it doesn’t mean there is no harm done. Even wifi at home is not encouraged to be turned on 24 hours/ day. Just that we won’t feel the effect so soon.

If u have to ask, u already know that it is bad. Whether financially or medically.

The question then is how bad? How much discount can only justify having a HTC beside ur home?

Always a debatable issue on HTC concerns. For me, people living near to telco towers, wifi connection in your house, living near TNB substation, etc...there is always some effect one way or the other...

even living on a hill, living on a slope, there will always be consequences...

Looking at the subject of resale or reselling:
1) There are many others who believe there is nothing wrong to buy house near powerline
2) If the resell value is lower than other house, well your purchase price normally lower too

On safety side
A 2006 Medical College of Wisconsin review of studies on the subject revealed that:
- 46 percent of those studies found exposure to power frequency fields had no effect on subjects.
- 22 percent found that exposure resulted in DNA damage.
- 32 percent of the studies were inconclusive.

Like normal people, some may be sensitive to something and some may not. Some allergic to some and some are not.

Some guide provided something like this:

The minimum clearance distances o powerline are as specified:
Voltage (kV)----------------Minimum Clearance Distance (ft)
Up to 50-------------------- 10
>50 to 200----------------- 15
>200 to 350---------------- 20
>350 to 500---------------- 25
>500 to 750---------------- 35
>750 to 1,000-------------- 45

How to identify what is the voltage on the powerline?
You can see that there are ceramic insulator (that white disc) near the tower on each side. Count the number of insulator

Transmission line Voltage -----------------​Number of insulator discs
110 kV -------------------------------------- 6–8
220 kV​--------------------------------------- 10–12
​400 kV--------------------------------------- 18–21

The 30m is far. It is your call even if I'd say it is okay smile.gif

Looking at the subject of resale or reselling:
1) There are many others who believe there is nothing wrong to buy house near powerline
2) If the resell value is lower than other house, well your purchase price normally lower too

Most of the HTC u see near to residential should be 132kv

Yea 30m-50m should be good enough for me.
I have a twin uncles.
One live next to a HTC, another does not.
Both have a similar healthy lifestyle - don't smoke, don't drink etc.
The one uncle that doesn't live hear a HTC passed away 10 years ago from cancer.
The uncle that live near at HTC is still alive and healthy today. He has live in the same house under HTC for more than 30 years.
So I personally think living 30m-50m away from HTC doesn't affect ones health.
Just my opinion.

apart from cancer, one must consider fire and electrocution hazards too. depending of the spacing within tower (>50m), if one end of the cable broke, the cable will fall and bounce. if you are unlucky, it may hit you.

it is still up for debate whether affect health or not in the long term.
but just for peace of mind get a unit as far away as possible i guess...

Yes. It is bad. There are so many research and there are standards issued for house distance from the power lines. But unfortunately, in Malaysia.. money is power. Therefore it is important for the people to know the risk involved living nearby power lines, especially those are are planning to start a family.

you are right, like someone said above, peace in mind. i see quite a few examples where friends faced many obstacles (not so smooth process) when acquiring new home. at last their business/career went south. i might be superstitious/pantang but just be cautious.

Some banks do not grant 90% loans for properties near HTC. Its a known fact.

In Australia, your insurance premium is higher if your home is located near HTC.

"However, a more recent study showed an elevated risk of leukemia among children living in homes with distances much greater than 60 m from high voltage power lines.[3] This study involved close to 30000 matched case-control pairs of children living in the United Kingdom. It was found that children living in homes as far as 600 m from power lines had an elevated risk of leukemia. An increased risk of 69% for leukemia was found for children living within 200 m of power lines while an increased risk of 23% was found for children living within 200 to 600 m of the lines.[3] This study was notable in that it found some elevation of risk at much greater distances than previous studies.

Although distance of homes from power lines can be considered a crude measure of exposure, the results of this study do merit attention. A limited understanding exists of how exposure to EMF can affect health. The underlying biological mechanism is unknown, making it difficult to determine which measure of EMF is most appropriate when evaluating health outcomes. Use of residential proximity may be a reasonable surrogate for direct measurements of EMF, but may also reflect other factors that are related to proximity to high voltage lines.

If the association found in the UK study does reflect a causal relationship, what are the potential impacts in BC? Using current BC leukemia rates[4] and assuming similar proportions of the population live near high voltage lines, on a statistical basis, there may be one additional leukemia in BC every 2 years. To eliminate this risk, one would need to achieve a separation distance of 600 m between every high voltage power line and the nearest residence. While this could be done, it would require substantial changes to existing land use patterns and would require significant resources. While it can be argued that this action is consistent with some forms of the precautionary principle, based on best available evidence, one can achieve much greater risk reduction or health benefits if resources are directed to other larger, better established risks.

For your own stay, especially newly wed that have babies and young children, stay far far away from High power Tension lines. (HTC)

Over the years, the are many successful lawsuit in USA against power lines company that placed their power lines towers too close to residential areas.

Childhood leukemia is very real and only property agents/developers refute the fact. (for the sake of profit)

How about this, if one high rise condo just next to HTC and another one high rise condo just next to a cemetery land. Assuming you are currently homeless and must choose one as your home to live, which one would you choose ? biggrin.gif

ya, both are "eyesore" to us, but in terms if all the negative amenities that are just next to your high rise condo, I will ranked them as below from worst to least

1) Septic tank/Sewage tank
2) HTC/Pylon
3) Mosque/Temple
4) Graveyard/Cemetery land
5) A very busy highway
6) Hospital/Bomba Fire station/Police station
7) School
8) Petrol station

Say 500-1000m from the high tension power cable and telco tower but the location is very good 5km from lifestyle mall and 2km from traditional market and many ammenities there very easy to go mamak and food court.It also have facilities like jogging track and swimming pool. Moreover, the price of house is considered cheap. Will you consider to buy? It's about 15-20 high tension power cable towers and 3 telco towers around there.

If u have to ask then don't buy. Even if the high tension power cable won't effect u, your subconscious will affect u thus everyday u won't feel at ease.
