I have done RFID and handheld scanner testing, setup & commissioning.
you can literally hear their vibration sound when set too high.  shakehead.gif

there are more scary wave in our surrounding than the power line

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.

Nearest house to the tower/line is 30meters. Safe?
Location glenmarie. 1.3m house cheapest

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
