just annoying when TNB does maintenance in your area, but good la............idiots help drive the prices down

depend on the voltage, and depend its ac or dc
if dc would be >500kv

It's useless to based on a poll to decide on the danger of HTC.

In those old days, if you run a poll on whether the earth is round or flat. All the answers come back will be the earth is flat.

So when the poll results says the earth is flat, does it mean the earth is really flat ?

I know someone working in TNB as an engineer. He told me the frequency of the high tension cable is only 50mhz and cause nothing to our health. The one that causing cells damage is the mobile phone which is more than 10x worst than anything you have in your house and still we are neglecting it and talking about high tension cables.

Bust myth also no use. Property with HTC will die.

did you even read the post? I'm telling you that HTC is harmless. The poll is just to gauge public's perception.

For investment maybe, but for those who are buying it for ownstay this might be helpful 

The purpose of this thread is to bust/discuss the myths/misconceptions regarding high tension cables.
Does this sound familiar? "aiya got high tension cable near your house, sure you'll get cancer" "I really like that house but didnt buy it because I dont wanna harm my family's health"

Some General Knowledge First:

What are the harms associated with high tension cables?
-High tension cables carry Alternating-Current (AC), and due to the alternating nature of it generates a magnetic field that is constantly expanding and collapsing call Electromagnetic Field (EMF). Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are a type of low-frequency electromagnetic radiation emitted from virtually everything electrical and electronic in our modern world — power lines, transformers, electrical panels, building wiring, computers, lights, clocks, appliances, televisions, hairdryers, cell phones, cordless phones, microwave ovens, Wi-Fi, wireless routers and other devices, TV/radio/cell towers, etc.

The idea that living near high-voltage power lines is bad for your health has been around for many years. Illnesses attributed to power lines include childhood leukemias, other cancers, abnormal heart rhythms, miscarriages, low birth weight, birth defects, and other illnesses that might lead to premature death. Despite the conclusions of many studies that find no detectable risk, many people remain unconvinced about the safety of power lines, misconceptions passed on for generations.

Argument 1: Living close to high tension cables put you at a health risk.

- Over the last 20 years, multiple studies have been published reviewing the effect of high-power voltage lines on human health. Among the most recent was a study from England of more than 83,000 workers in the electricity industry. Researchers found no increase in brain cancer or overall death rate when compared to those who did not work around electromagnetic fields. Reports from major research centers in at least nine countries have come to similar conclusions:There is no compelling evidence of any health hazard from power lines. If power lines have any effect on human health, it is small.

Argument 2 : Even though there's no proof that high tension cables are harmful I would like to stay a safe distance from it.

- There're safe distance guide all over the internet, mostly just a generalized standard ranging from a few meters to a few kilometers. The best solution is to take an accurate measurement of the EMF at your house. This is where I come in, because of this same reason I've invested in an EMF meter. So now for the sake of our future generations I'll go to your place to take an EMF reading for free & during my free time. Based on the readings I've gathered from various sites I can say that most houses with high tension cables nearby, the EMF would've died off and WILL NOT reach your house. So even if you stay near high tension cables you would be getting most of the EMF radiation from your household appliances rather than the high tension cables.

With that I conclude this post, please do not hesitate to post constructive arguments. kthxbye

tldr : No proof that high tension cables are a health risk, even if there's a risk you won't be in range anyway.

HTC is harmless also useless. HTC is eyesore.

did you even read the post? I'm telling you that HTC is harmless. The poll is just to gauge public's perception.

And you asking keyboard warriors here to give you the answer, expecting them to know better than experts.. 

I expect the crowd here to be more matured since its not /k 
hopefully we can gain something constructive out of this

I am saying the poll has no bearing to the truth.

However :-

If you are concerned about property price, then you should be concerned with the perception, not the truth.

If you are concerned about the truth, then you should ignore the poll.

I expect the crowd here to be more matured since its not /k

perseption is mother of all truth.. get it?

wonder why you dont want to use the search function and look for the same thread, and read from there
from those previous thread, you will know what to "expect" as the outcome of the discussion..

because nobody would read a huge wall of text in the middle of another thread right?
i need to keep the main points easily accessible at the first page
i expect uninformed people to gain awareness
