my grandma house can never have telephone line because it is stolen again and again.

who to these thieves sell their ill gotten gains to?
was in the scrap business before
very unclean business
every (other) day face popo come check
yes got stuff that look like it's been salvaged illegally and whenever sus this kinda items, straight away say can't
what they'll do, just hop on to the next person that buys, trust me, many will, throw price, tak beli rugi ma
wonder when will this all come to an end

You also blardi tok kok apa

You need the signals the whole railway line? No, you just need it for communications between stations, for train tracking and positioning. And all stations are located in populous area where mobile signals are present.

Plus the train line involved here is peninsular west coast route. Our west coast is the most populous area. How many places along the route would be out of signal? There is no way a repeater tower can't cover the blind spot - just need to invest money to build. With the repeated thefts and losses, the value is already more than enough to cover the building of such facility.

True, BUT with the constant and repeated thefts of cables, is it worth it or not to start investing and building an alternate and modern wireless system? 4G bandwidth nowadays exceed the capabilities of wired broadband 20 years ago, which I believe that KTMB is still utilising as of today. Plus ktmb is not sucking Gbs or Tbs for their signalling Comms anyway.

By wireless it's not just depending fully on mobile network, we still have satellite and age-tested HF radio that could serve as backup. It all falls back to whether organisations involved is willing to or worth to invest the moolah to build and move to a different system

Even then, 200m is a lot of cable. Once you cut, the signaling station will know. But KTMB's usually response time, by the time they get to us, the thieves will be long gone.

Most recycle scrap centres still accepting due to poor enforcement

Of course it is for the scrap metal

But now your taman has no electricity

And guess who pays to replace it? The end consumer, via electricity rates.

It is far in remote area unless KTMB has post every 20km perhaps

iushhh so many cases n they are only the reported ones. This means our authority sleeping on the job.

The issue is recycling center.
Once u cut all this illegal recycling center out, then no more such shit as they cannot resell already

tembak mati on the spot saja. apa susah?
